List of French phrases used by English speakers
Here are some examples of French words and phrases used by English speakers.There are many
words of French origin in English, such as art, collage, competition, force, machine, police, publicity, role, routine, table, and many others which have been and are being anglicized. They are now pronounced according to
English rules of
orthography, rather than
French. Approximately 40% of English vocabulary is of French or
Oïl language origin, most derived from, or transmitted by, the
Anglo-Norman spoken by the
upper classes in
England for several hundred years after the
Norman Conquest, before the language settled into what became
