I think that is DR Congo. More french speakers than France.
Give Canada some respect, DR Congo didn't even exist until after WWII.
More French speakers than Quebec, New Brunswick, and a smattering here & there in other provinces? The only other thing the French in this country have is poutine. The least we can do is give them this.
11 million in Canada. 72 million in DR Congo. It's not even close.
It's crazy how small people think Africa is, as if it isn't the 2nd most populous continent with Nigeria on track to overtake the US in population by 2050. Africa is projected to meet the same population as Asia by 2100 (both are likely to separately have about 3-4x the population of every other continent combined)
Of course a country in the most populous section of Africa have more people who speak the national language than in Canada! Nigeria has like 4x the amount of English speakers of Canada, and Uganda & Egypt both have around the same amount as Canada.
La poutine n'est pas française et je vous prierais de surveiller votre ton lorsque vous parlez à mes colocuteurs d'outre-atlantique. Vive le Canada francophone et le Cameroun.
