The French speaking community has increasingly extended over the last few years. The Francais (French language), Romance language deriving from Latin and said to represent the ancient Roman empire, is indeed the official language in 22 countries. But this modern vernacular is also widely used today - and highly appreciated - in Cultural fields like Gastronomy, History and Arts. Indeed, France has paid a particular attention to its elegant, pure, pleasantly sounding language, making sure it would be protected and promoted all over the world. The pre-eminent Académie Française for instance, French Academy established by Richelieu in the early 17th century is to look after the development of the French language.
