    transformation, and that is how King Francis I decrees French
    as the official language. The same would be mandatory in all
    written texts and in the oral language of all France as to what
    is the origin of French.

    Some time later, the first written works of a literary type


    appeared, by clerics and educated people, the first text in
    French is the Oaths of Strasbourg from the 9th century, where
    the first testimony of a Romance language spoken in France,
    already clearly different from Latin, is found. .

    THE CURRENT FRENCH

    Currently the French language is the only


    one that, along with English, is spoken on
    all five continents. Having as official
    language 32 countries.

    French is the third most used language


    worldwide, since this language is the
    official language of international
    institutions. As for example: the
    international red cross, the European
    Union and UNESCO.
