  • Its just odd, France prides itself on its culture and language. Yet French has fallen out of favor even in diplomacy. English is of course the language of business, and its becoming the language of diplomacy as well. While france is being overrun and will perhaps be speaking Arabic sometime this century.

  • You've got a point there. Culture and language seem to build on sort of a spinning wheel progression with the "here and now" as a fulcrum point.

  • something ironic about a french dude making a speech about french culture at a latin conference translated into english by a mexican!

  • Why is that so? Would you care to be more specific?

  • @phlood69 You're ill-informed. France is not overrun and will never speak Arabic.

  • About what are you speaking ? Joan of Arc ?? Joan of Arc is nothing in french culture .. The true french culture is "Les lumières", not that religious old symbol. Joan of Arc is just a religious symbol for the biggest part of French people, we only learn that JOA has existed when we begin to go to school... then, we learn important things.
