French is a Romance language descended from Latin, official in around 29 countries through La Francophonie, and historically the language of European diplomacy for centuries. It's known for nasal vowels, a linking phenomenon called liaison, and a number system with genuine base-twenty remnants.
French pronunciation includes nasal vowels — sounds produced partly through the nose with no direct English equivalent — and liaison, where a normally silent final consonant is pronounced when the next word starts with a vowel. Grammatically, French has two genders (no neuter) and a widely used subjunctive mood for expressing doubt, emotion, or necessity.
Not yet — French is planned for a future Tarc course. This page and its linked topic pages cover real facts about the language itself in the meantime.
Vowel sounds produced partly through the nose, found in words like "bon" or "vin" — they have no direct equivalent in English and are one of French pronunciation's most distinctive features.
Standard French retains genuine base-twenty (vigesimal) remnants in its number system — quatre-vingts ("four twenties") for eighty is a real historical leftover, not a simplification or a mistake.
