Wilman May 26, 2007:
I agree with Huijun and Lu Zou, given the context, it should be French spoken in Canada/Quebec. I learned French from both teachers from France and Canada, the pronounciations of the two versions are indeed very different.
Jason Ma May 26, 2007:
*French Canadian*这个词中隐含着政治倾向，即Quebec这片土地和法国有着千丝万缕的联系。当年戴高乐访问Quebec时一句vive la Quebec几乎引起了一场外交纠纷。
Wenjer Leuschel (X) May 26, 2007:
Huijun 說得對，肯定是 français canadien 粗心地換過來的；解決辦法確實是打括弧。
billychang May 26, 2007:
就是加拿大人说的法文，一定有它的特点。好像在美国的Louisiana有人说Cajun，也是得自法文的。
Lu Zou (asker) May 26, 2007:
确实有些奇怪。因为其标题是说此系统可以使用十种语言，其中包括英语、德语、法语等等，最后是French Canadian，但猜想即使是指Canadian French，也不至于另列为一种语言呀，因为上边已经列出法语了。Huijun Suo说的有些道理，虽然我不懂法语。
Huijun Suo May 26, 2007:
另一种可能就是 French Canadian 的说法无任何问题，就是指法裔加拿大人，或更有可能——以法语为母语的加拿大人。
Huijun Suo May 26, 2007:
原文可是法文，即 francais canadien（加拿大法语）。法语中形容词通常位于名词后，但是在翻译成英语时比较粗心，位置没有换过来，就成了 French Canadian，其实不换位置也行，把 Canadian 打上括号即可：French (Canadian)。
Wenjer Leuschel (X) May 26, 2007:
有點奇怪。既然與漢語、英語等語言並列在一起，指的應該是在加拿大使用的法語，怎會說是 French Canadian 呢？會不會是指：說漢語的人、說英語的人、說法語的加拿大人呢？
billychang May 26, 2007:
只知道在魁北克 (Quebec)的人是说法文。

Lu Zou (asker) May 26, 2007:
不知加拿大法语与法国法语有什么区别? 如同美国英语与英国英语一般?

agree Shaunna (X) : 如果不是因为和那些语言并列，我也会想是法裔加拿大人之类的，可如果是语言，只有想是加拿大法语了。也还是别扭，加拿大法语本该是canadian french 才对，但估计也只好如此了。

neutral Jason Ma : I feel comfortable with Canadian French if it's refering to langauge. I guess the writer slipped off here. Writers may get tired.
