The Normans spoke French, but they weren't French
Norman is a contracted word .. North Men (Men of the North) ... which at that time still meant Viking Lol

For actual French people you need to look at Gaul & Brittany, where they spoke Gaelic

It was just a joke. And your info is inaccurate.

There's no consensus on the ethnicity of the earliest prehistoric English settlers who were supplanted by Celts (thought to have originated in Central Asia due to linguistic similarities). The Angles arrived after the Romans.

France didn't even exist when the North Men appeared so they have just as much claim to be called French as anyone else.

We'll be looking at opening a French section of the forums as localization into french develops more and we onboard more staff for it.

I'm sure we'll announce it when it goes live, so keep an eye on the news Blink

Exactly....

Most will deny it but it is racism plain and simple...

I remember when I lived in Calgary. They had a large little Italy community. There was these old italian women in the country been here 40 years and REFUSED to learn English. Everything they did was to make their home and neighborhood like Italy. I asked their grand kids "why did they come here if they feel like this?" They would say "for a better life"... So how was this better?




That is actually the major issue with migrations of people. In the UK we have a rise of idiocy against immigration and europe because of this. However plenty of British people retire to Europe and don't learn the local language and complain about local laws etc. If you move to a country you should learn the language and not look to change the local laws.

Can't see a problem with a french language forum section once its localised, always good fun in low sec with french corps trying to kill me. Sadly couldn't talk to them though :P

Il y a un forum DUST 514 français.


2.
J'ai reçu un offre de traduction pour une compagnie de finance que je connait depuis 10 ans.
Il m'offre un pourcentage de vente comme affilié et représentant.

(Même pour cette entré de forum, il a fallu que je copie les charactères avec accent car mon clavier est trop déficient.
De 76 réponses, la seule avec un accent grave est la dernière, je ne vais pas y chercher un "â accent grave".
J'ai utilisé Type French accents without a French keyboard pour simplifier. Sans compté que 70% des mots sont souligné en rouge. )


3.
Il faudrait que je réécrive ma complainte confidentielle sur 60% des articles et conventions à la division d'urgence contre la torture de l'ONU en français.
Sa devrait avoir plus de muscle en 2 langues officielles.

Gotta say, the French channel in game is dreadful. One good thing with English is that it draws an international crowd (especially in games that have euro severs) that's, erm, more educated than the average.

Regarding history:

- By the time of the Battle of Hastings, the Kingdom of France ('Francia') was very much decentralized, a fraction of it only was under direct control of the King, the rest under (loose) vassalage. The south or Brtitany didn't speak the same language as the north (where the "langue d'oil" was spoken, essentially 'Old French'). The concept of 'French' identity for that period would have been at best terribly fuzzy. 'Normans' (only a fraction of who might have had 'Viking' ancestors from two centuries before) were not any less 'French' than any other 'French' people of the time. Besides England was invaded not just by Normans, William had gathered a large army from various corners of the Kingdom including Brittany and Flanders.

- Angles were a Germanic people, not Celtic, and they weren't there before the Romans...

- It makes no sense to me to declare the 'actual French people' c. 11th century, were the Gauls and Bretons. I assume the idea here is that the Celts were the 'original' inhabitants of the country, but then again they weren't. The history and pre-history of the world is one of migrations and cultural displacement. In the 11th century, the 'French' were people who lived within the boundaries of the kingdom, the culture was mostly Frankish and Latin, and Brittany was largely independent anyway.
