This language belong to the roman languages which means a descending from Latin. It is the apartest of all other roman languages which are Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and Retoromanical.

That form of Frech has been deroged by the Midevial one and than came the age of Rennaisance. Finally from the 17th Century of the second millenium the language became on an on that French of our days which was the until to the last twenties the most common languages. Nowaday the world language is of cours English and French is still the so called second language.
