French Africa

== African French ==
African French (French: français africain) is the generic name of the varieties of French spoken by an estimated 120 million (2010) people inAfrica spread across 24 francophone countries.[3] This includes those who speak French as a first or second language in these 31 francophone African countries (dark blue on the map), but it does not include French speakers living in non-francophone African countries. Africa is thus the continent with the most French speakers in the world.[3] French arrived in Africa as a colonial language. These African French speakers are now an important part of the Francophonie.
In Africa, French is often spoken alongside indigenous languages, but in some areas it has become a first language, such as in the region ofAbidjan, Ivory Coast[4] or Libreville, Gabon. In some countries it is a first language among some classes of the population, such as in Tunisia,Morocco and Algeria where French is a first language among the upper classes (many people in the upper classes are simultaneous bilinguals in Arabic/French), but only a second language among the general population.
In each of the francophone African countries French is spoken with local specificities in terms of pronunciation and vocabulary.
