This means that its 40 members are in charge of making sure the rules and proper use (le bon usage<\/strong>) of the language are taught and respected.<\/p>\n\n L\u2019Acad\u00e9mie<\/strong> is indeed comprised of 40 members, male or female, informally called the immortals (les immortels<\/strong>) because they are elected for life. They can be elected from any walk of life, regardless of their education.<\/p>\n\n L\u2019Acad\u00e9mie<\/strong> publishes an official dictionary of the French language, and it announces new words that make their way into the dictionary. One of the new words was smiley<\/strong> which entered the dictionary in 2019. The latest edition of the dictionary, the 9th edition, was published in 2012.<\/p>\n\n The French Academy was created in 1634 by a famous cardinal and minister to King Louis XIII, le cardinal Richelieu<\/strong>. In 1635, it became official by Kind Louis XIII.<\/p>\n\n Some famous immortels<\/strong> throughout history are Voltaire, Victor Hugo, Alexandre Dumas, Louis Pasteur.<\/p>\n\n Here are some additional readings to learn more about the French Academy:<\/p>\n\n What languages were spoken in France before the Acad\u00e9mie Fran\u00e7aise<\/strong> came about? And did France have one dominant language before the 17th<\/sup> century?<\/p>\n\n During the 5th<\/sup> century B.C., there were three main languages were spoken in France, le grec<\/strong> (Greek), le ligure<\/strong> (Ligurian), and le latin<\/strong> (latin). Then, when the Franks invaded France, their language became intertwined with these three existing languages and that is what brought about the roman<\/strong> or gallo-roman<\/strong>, which was a form of vernacular Latin language.<\/p>\n\n The oldest document of written roman<\/strong> or Old French that has survived is called \"The Oaths of Strasbourg\" (les Serments de Strasbourg<\/strong>), written in 842 AD. It was a pledge of allegiance between Louis the German (Louis le Germanique<\/strong>), ruler of East Francia and his half-brother Charles the Bald (Charles le Chauve<\/strong>), ruler of West Francia against their brother Lothair I (Lothaire 1er<\/strong>). The two brothers spoke different languages, so the Oaths were written in Medieval Latin (le latin m\u00e9di\u00e9val<\/strong>), Old French (le roman<\/strong>), and High German (le tudesque<\/strong>). It is said that this document gave birth to the French language.<\/p>\n\n In the Middle Ages, the educated spoken classical Latin while the rest of the population a vernacular Latin. During the 10th<\/sup> century, the king Hugues Capet<\/strong> was the first to officially use the French language, called le francien<\/strong> at the time, and to begin nationalizing the French language. But during the Middle Ages, and until the 16th<\/sup> century, there were many very different dialects of the French language spoken all over France. In the northern region, the language was called la langue d\u2019o\u00efl<\/strong>, o\u00efl<\/strong> meaning yes, and in the southern region the language was called la langue d\u2019oc<\/strong>, oc<\/strong> also meaning yes. But there were many other regional languages that still exist today. It is said that the Troubadours<\/strong> (called Trouv\u00e8res<\/strong> in the north) spread the Old French language throughout the region.<\/p>\n\n Here is a map that shows the different languages and dialects spoken throughout France<\/a>. In 1539 the King Fran\u00e7ois 1er<\/strong> (Francis I) decided to nationalize the francien<\/strong> or Fran\u00e7ois<\/strong> language, also called le moyen fran\u00e7ais<\/strong> (Middle French), spoken in the \u00cele de France<\/strong> region (near Paris).<\/p>\n\n Medieval French was drastically different from the French spoken in France today. It was rather similar to Latin, Spanish, and Italian.<\/p>\n\n Here is an example of a text written in Medieval French by author Marie de France<\/a>. On the left side is the modern French translation and on the right side you can see how incomprehensible Old French can be to current French speakers.<\/p>\n\n<\/div> \u00c9coutez la chanson La vie en rose<\/a> est remplir les espaces vides avec les mots qui manquent<\/p>\n\n La vie en rose<\/font><\/p>\n\n Des yeux qui font baisser les miens Quand il me prend dans ses bras Il me dit des mots d\u2019_______ Il est entr\u00e9 dans mon ________ C'est lui pour moi, moi pour lui dans la ____ Et d\u00e8s que je l'aper\u00e7ois Des nuits d'amour \u00e0 plus finir Quand il me prend dans ses ______ Il me dit des mots d'amour Il est entr\u00e9 dans mon c\u0153ur C\u2019est _____ pour moi, moi pour toi dans la vie Et d\u00e8s que je t'aper\u00e7ois Use the following resources to type accents and\/or search for words:<\/p>\n\n In this section, you will learn about:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Toulouse et L’Occitanie<\/p>\n La Provence<\/p>\n Le Pays Basque<\/p>\n Regardez cette vid\u00e9o sur Toulouse<\/a> et mettez les endroits dans le bon ordre.<\/p>\n Quelles sont les 10 raisons qui font que Toulouse est \u00ab la meilleure ville de France \u00bb ?<\/p>\n![\"Canal](\"https:\/\/human.libretexts.org\/@api\/deki\/files\/76397\/Canal_du_Midi.jpg?revision=1&size=bestfit&width=430&height=258\")
