French-speaking regions are areas where the primary language spoken is French. These regions include countries like France, Belgium, Switzerland, and Canada, particularly the province of Quebec. Additionally, many countries in Africa, such as Senegal and Ivory Coast, have significant French-speaking populations due to historical ties with France. French is not only a native language in these regions but also serves as a second language for many. The Organisation internationale de la Francophonie promotes the French language and culture worldwide, connecting French-speaking communities across different continents and fostering cultural exchange.
