Travel Info Can anyone name 4 languages spoken in France? Need some help for school. Thanks a lot !!? Travel Tips French is of course the major language. There are actually however more than four languages spoken in France. In the southwest corner they speak Basque. In Alsace many people speak German. In Corsica they speak Corsu or Lingua Corsa. In Brittany many people speak Brezhoneg (Breton). In the North by the Belgian border there are about 20,000 speakers of Vlaemsch (West Flemish) I would also note that about 10% of the population of metropolitan France is Muslim and therefore can generally speak Arabic. There is also a large Vietnamese population which speaks that language. Others French, english, Spanish, german, potuguese...that's five, but think about all of the countries around it geographically French, English, German and I don't know what else Rilli fane has given you a good list. Can I add one more, Occitane. Spoken in central/southwest france, it is in French "la langue d'oc", which gave the name of the Languedoc region of France where it is most commonly spoken. To complete Milleowner's answer. "Langue d'Oc" is the old way to talk about the language spoken in the South of France (and "langue d'oil" to speak about the French from the north of France) but it is used when we are talking about the Middle Age. Today we talk about "occitan" which is close to Catalan spoken in the area of Barcelona -the roots of these two dialects are the same. You'r lucky. I'm french, i can help you. Well, for exemple -"l'Alsacien" (alsacian) spoken in Alsace, east of France - "Le Breton" (Breton), spoken in Brittany, west of France - "Le Basque", spoken in Basque Country, south of France - "Le Berrichon, spoken in Berry, center of France An interresting link for you: http://www.lexilogos.com/france_carte_di...
