[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read that the French spoken in Quebec is equivalent to what the English colonists spoke and that the language sounds more stagnant and old-fashioned to the French. Is this true? In any event, Quebec is beautiful and I was so envious and impressed how the Quebecois switched effortless between English and French.[/quote] The English colonists spoke English not French...[/quote] What?? You're kidding. The English colonists spoke English?? I had no idea. No. What I meant is that French language stagnated similarly to what it would sound like if we spoke colonial English today, hence the word "equivalent" and not "is" or "was." In other words, Canadian French sounds like Ye Olde French to the French today.[/quote] That's silly. Why would the French language "stagnate" in Quebec, any more than any other language? Every living language changes over time. [/quote]
