Francophone
The adjective francophone means
French-speaking, typically as primary language, whether referring to individuals, groups or places.More rarely in English, the noun Francophone (also spelled with a small character 'f') is used for a natively French-speaking person.In a narrower sense the notion of 'francophone' reaches beyond the dictionary definition of "French language speaker". The term specifically refers to people whose cultural background is primarily associated with French language, regardless of ethnic and geographical differences. The francophone culture beyond Europe is the legacy of the
French colonial empire and
that of Belgium (
Congo,
Burundi and
Rwanda).
