The international status of French:

Because of its rigorous usage, French is used internationally to write such rigorous and important documents as legal provisions. The United Nations has adopted English as its first language and French as its first language. As one of the six working languages of the United Nations, French is second only to English in international social and diplomatic activities.

It is not only the official language of France, but also the official or common language of more than 40 countries and regions on five continents. The number of French speakers is estimated to be around 654.38+0.2 billion. Although there are not many French speakers in the world, French-speaking countries are widely distributed. If English is the largest language in terms of global language distribution, then French deserves to be the second largest language.

French is the official language of the United Nations (UN) and its affiliated international organizations, the European Union (EU) and its affiliated institutions, the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the International Organization of la Francophonie (FIO), the World Trade Organization (WTO), the International Red Cross (IRC), NATO, FIFA and other international organizations.
