The French Language
- French is natively known as Français and belongs to the Indo-European, Romance, Gallo-Romance language family.
- There are approximately 80 million native, 280 million total speakers worldwide.
- French is an official language in 29 countries across five continents and one of the six official languages of the United Nations.
- French was the dominant language of international diplomacy from the 17th century until the mid-20th century, and many diplomatic terms remain French (attache, communique, detente, rapport).
- The Academie Francaise, established in 1635, has been the official authority on French language matters for nearly 400 years, actively working to preserve the language from foreign influence.
- Africa is home to the majority of the world's French speakers, with the Democratic Republic of the Congo having the largest French-speaking population of any country.
- French spelling has remained conservative, preserving many letters from Latin and Old French that are no longer pronounced, making its orthography notably more complex than its spoken form.
- French speakers in Australia come from diverse origins including France, New Caledonia, French Polynesia, Mauritius, various African nations, Canada, Belgium, and Lebanon. The French-born population numbers around 30,000, but the total French-speaking community is much larger. Alliance Francaise branches operate in every major Australian city, and French is one of the most studied foreign languages in Australian schools.
About White Cliffs
White Cliffs is a small town in outback New South Wales in Australia, in Central Darling Shire. White Cliffs is around 255 km northeast of Broken Hill, 93 km north of Wilcannia. At the 2006 census, White Cliffs had a population of 119. The primary school opened in 1895, and has operated continuously since then. White Cliffs was one of the many places visited by Bill Bryson in research for the book In a Sunburned Country.
The town was established in the late 19th century when opal was discovered. Opal has been mined ever since. The first Australian opal was found 20 years before in Queensland in 1872, when a party of kangaroo hunters were operating in the White Cliffs area. One of them, who had left the party to track down a wounded kangaroo over some low stony hills, picked up a pretty stone which appealed to him. When taking back the stone, they suspected it could be opal which the local jeweler confirmed. He advised to get as much opal as possible since this could be more profitable than kangaroo hunting. When the group filed a claim, opal had not yet been listed under gemstones, and it was decided to file the claim under the "Gold Mining Act".
