This includes some efforts in Wikipedia. </p><p>For example, it would be very pleasant and convenient if the name of a dialect and its <a href="/wiki/Sprachraum" title="Sprachraum">Sprachraum</a> were identical to political, i.e. national/provincial/state, boundaries. It would be wonderful if this were the case of Quebec French and Acadian French, neither of which are limited to the areas after which they were named. Also, there is no such dialect as "Canadian French"; all works containing the title only describe Quebec French with a micro-mention of Acadian French. </p><p>The ultimate references on the subject are listed below. I invite all to read them to witness the reality of the preponderance of Quebec French (disguised as Canadian French) and the misnomer of "Canadian French": </p><p>Robinson & Smith (1991) Dictionary of Canadian French; NTC. This work is actually two dictionaries: an exhaustive one on Quebec French (253pp) and a tiny supplement on Acadian French (13pp). It is therefore a misnomer, for it is a Quebec French dictionary with a separate, token 13 pages on Acadian French. No mention of any other dialects. </p><p>Dulong (1989) Dictionnaire des canadianismes; Larousse. Note that the term "canadianisme" is outdated in contemporary French; the modern term is "québécisme". Again, the title of this work is a misnomer. The work is actually a dictionary of Quebec French with a smattering of Acadian terms. In fact, the book relies on the Office de la langue française (now the Office québécois de la langue française) and uses an abbreviation for Acadianisms only. No mentions of any other dialects. </p><p>The mis/disinformative practice of changing "Quebec French" to "Canadian French" results in a denial of linguistic reality and research, regardless of what side of any identity-politics fueled debate. An article on "French in Canada" is totally justifiable. An article on "Canadian French", however, is not unless we want to fill Wikipedia with misconceptions, deep-seated preconceived notions, bias and disinformation. <a href="/wiki/User:CJ_Withers" title="User:CJ Withers">CJ Withers</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:French_dialects_by_continent#c-CJ_Withers-2006-04-10T03:52:00.000Z-Quebec_French_vs._"Canadian"_French" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">03:52, 10 April 2006 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-CJ_Withers-2006-04-10T03:52:00.000Z-Quebec_French_vs._"Canadian"_French"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-CJ_Withers-2006-04-10T03:52:00.000Z-Quebec_French_vs._"Canadian"_French"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Ardenn-2006-04-10T04:02:00.000Z-CJ_Withers-2006-04-10T03:52:00.000Z"></span>That's a debate for that article then, and not this template.

There is no such dialect, hence, it is incorrect to list it. It is very clear that Quebec French and Acadian French are in Canada; that's why it is the first word in the line. Also, you will note that I changed "France French" [sic] to "Metropolitan French" since that is what it is from a neutral perspective. There is a desparate need for an article on Metropolitan French; we'll see if there are any takers/experts who will develop and enrich it. Btw, no one outside of Canada calls it "France French" unless they are using it as an ad-hoc term, albeit stiltedly and uncomfortably, picked up from Canadian anglophones or francophones. <a href="/wiki/User:CJ_Withers" title="User:CJ Withers">CJ Withers</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:French_dialects_by_continent#c-CJ_Withers-2006-04-10T04:26:00.000Z-Quebec_French_vs._"Canadian"_French" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">04:26, 10 April 2006 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-CJ_Withers-2006-04-10T04:26:00.000Z-Quebec_French_vs._"Canadian"_French"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-CJ_Withers-2006-04-10T04:26:00.000Z-Quebec_French_vs._"Canadian"_French"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Ardenn-2006-04-10T04:27:00.000Z-CJ_Withers-2006-04-10T04:26:00.000Z"></span>There is Canadian French, it's used outside of Quebec, like in Ontario and BC. <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Ardenn" title="User talk:Ardenn">Ardenn</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:French_dialects_by_continent#c-Ardenn-2006-04-10T04:27:00.000Z-CJ_Withers-2006-04-10T04:26:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">04:27, 10 April 2006 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Ardenn-2006-04-10T04:27:00.000Z-CJ_Withers-2006-04-10T04:26:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Ardenn-2006-04-10T04:27:00.000Z-CJ_Withers-2006-04-10T04:26:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-CJ_Withers-2006-04-10T05:29:00.000Z-Quebec_French_vs._"Canadian"_French"></span>Conjecture. Unfortunate misnomer. What research and other documented facts are you basing your opinion on? Just because it's outside of the politcal boundaries of Quebec, doesn't qualify it as non-Quebec French or Canadian. In fact, the majority of French speakers in B.C. are born and bred Quebec francophones relocated to teach French or to work in some other field. Go figure. </p><p>Plus, there's no dialect difference among the half a million francophone Ontarians when you cross the Ottawa River, either from Grenville to Hawkesbury or from the new Gatineau to Ottawa. Same dialect, same Quebec French. In fact, if you look in my sandbox, the one on Quebec French, you'll see that I wrote in bold caps "SPRACHRAUM NEEDED"; the borders of the Quebec French dialect <a href="/wiki/Sprachraum" title="Sprachraum">sprachraum</a> are beyond those of Quebec the province. The obviously contiguous francophone areas of Ontario, the historical <a href="/wiki/Direct" class="mw-disambig" title="Direct">direct</a> control of ALL francophone Catholic churches in Ontario by the diocese of Montreal (I know the area well, such as the villages of Plantagenêt, Orignal, Curran, etc.) and the lack of any evidence of an Ontarian dialect (or B.C. for that matter) only re-inforce the fact of Quebec French's continued dominance (media production, language regulation - O(Q)LF, etc.). And, here's the cherry on the sundae: my thesis advisor agrees, for it was her class that confirmed what I'd already known. Oh, she was a Franco-Ontarian from Embrun and an expert on language attitudes, perceptions and terminological research; and this person is NOT a separatist(!), as if this were a politcal issue. The only difference that could be observed in B.C. or Ontario would be a probably higher degree of bilingualism and or code-switching; then again, the same could be said about franco-anglo couples anywhere, francos on the West Island or anglos in Quebec City.

I've lived in a franco-ontarien community for years and there's a definitive dialect compared to Quebec (I speak French). That being said, I don't doubt that quebecois french spills over into the eastern ends of the province. Also, franco-ontarien itself is a misnomer, considering there are actually multiple forms of French in Ontario - French as the speak it in the southeast, French as they speak it in the north, French as the Metis speak it, etc. (in my experience, French as they speak it here in the Quinte region seems to be a bit different than other ontarien french communities, so maybe we count as a (sub?)dialect too. <a href="/wiki/User:Mikewazhere" title="User:Mikewazhere">Mike Oosting</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Mikewazhere" title="User talk:Mikewazhere">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:French_dialects_by_continent#c-Mikewazhere-2011-07-13T13:50:00.000Z-CJ_Withers-2006-04-10T05:29:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">13:50, 13 July 2011 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Mikewazhere-2011-07-13T13:50:00.000Z-CJ_Withers-2006-04-10T05:29:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Mikewazhere-2011-07-13T13:50:00.000Z-CJ_Withers-2006-04-10T05:29:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-24.212.238.109-2012-11-28T06:47:00.000Z-Mikewazhere-2011-07-13T13:50:00.000Z"></span>The proper term here would then be that it is a subdialect of Quebec French. It may be distinct from the subdialects of Quebec French that are spoken in Quebec or elsewhere in Ontario, but it remains part of the sprachbund that descends from the French that became the common language of New France in the 17th century rather than from Metropolitan French (which did not become the common language of French until after the French Revolution), Acadian French (which is also Canadian but has a different pedigree), or Metis French (which is also rooted in the French spoken in New France, but which has spent generations developing in a different sociocultural milieu). Though Francophones in Vanier, Vankleek Hill, or Timmins may all have their own idiosyncracies, the subdialects typically understood as 'Ontario' French are part of the same same continuum as the subdialects spoken in Quebec. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Signatures" title="Wikipedia:Signatures">unsigned</a> comment added by <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/24.212.238.109" title="Special:Contributions/24.212.238.109">24.212.238.109</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:24.212.238.109&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User talk:24.212.238.109 (page does not exist)">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:French_dialects_by_continent#c-24.212.238.109-2012-11-28T06:47:00.000Z-Mikewazhere-2011-07-13T13:50:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">06:47, 28 November 2012 (UTC)</a><span data-mw-comment-end="c-24.212.238.109-2012-11-28T06:47:00.000Z-Mikewazhere-2011-07-13T13:50:00.000Z"></span></span><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-24.212.238.109-2012-11-28T06:47:00.000Z-Mikewazhere-2011-07-13T13:50:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-AshleyMorton-2006-08-22T00:50:00.000Z-Quebec_French_vs._"Canadian"_French"></span>Is the language spoken by Franco-Manitobans Québec French? <i>—<a href="/wiki/User:Mzajac" title="User:Mzajac">Michael</a> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Mzajac" title="User talk:Mzajac">Z.</a> <small>2006-11-16 17:16 Z</small></i></dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd>Also incorrect.

The problem we have to address is the normal evolution of language caused by a change in geographic location by a people from their country of origin(location where their dialect originated);then you simply add the passage of some time. The result can be a tenuous contrast in language or in some cases (with isolation from the native land) a larger or pronounced deviation from the proper form of the original langauge.The new slang would be widely known in its area of origin however when it pertains to it's mother country the slang in some specific cases can become harder interpret for the native country when trying to set a dialouge. However, the core of language the specific language will remain the same as long as consistant contact with the of linguistic origin remains active. I mean if you think about it French is based on the Latin language of early the Roman empire. I don't know any country today that speaks latin as a main language. If you can speak fluent Latin, but you cannot speak fluent French; Good luck setting a dialouge with a Frenchman who can only speak French and/or English.

And referring the other dialects as 'Quebec french' is equally wrong, as the same dialect is spoken throughout Canada; though <a href="/wiki/Joual" title="Joual">joualisms</a> may be less frequent elsewhere, and regionalisms more dominant outside Quebec; just because Quebec has the most dominance, doesn't make it the sole lingua of Canada. However, nowadays the term "Canadian french" is usually associated more to the dialects outside Quebec (since most Quebeckers have pride in being Québécois vs. Canadien français), that aren't Acadian or the Newfoundland dialect.</dd> <dd>-- As for this: "<i>or pronounced deviation from the proper form of the original langauge</i>" How do you define original language and proper form?

Québec's will for independency lead to a pride in being Québécois, which elsewhere in Canada people prefer 'Canadian french' because not only are provincial differences a factor, but historical and linguistic differences too. -- Sure everyone in Canada is Canadian, but the French dialect varies much more than English does. Acadian French is not the same as Québec French, which also isn't the same as Northern Ontario French or Newfoundland, etc. These dialects may appear the same, but they're not completely mutually intelligible, which is why a difference must be kept.</dd> <dd>Anyhow, while Parisian French is suppose to be the standard, it isn't. There are no governing rules on standard language pronunciations, as France itself has various dialects (and Paris can be characterized by a mix of surrounding dialects), which in terms have shifted from Classical Parisian French. There are only syntax rules (hence, the Académie Française, and Québec's. Office de la langue française which is often more conservative), and literature is quasi-universal: that's how the original language is characterized.
