Celebrate the International Day of Francophonie!
Half a billion Francophones around the world will celebrate International Day of Francophonie on 20 March. This event began in 1998 as a way for the 49 members of La Francophonie to celebrate their common bond, the French language, as well as their diversity. At the Day of Francophonie celebration in 2000, Canada kicked off the Year of La Francophonie.
What is francophonie? The term was coined by French essayist Onésime Reclus in about 1880 to describe the geographic areas in which French was spoken. A lot has happened since then, and today francophonie refers to the ensemble of people around the world who speak French. A Francophone is a person who speaks French and francophone is an adjective (e.g., francophone country).
Is French important? Yes! French is an official language in 33 countries on 5 continents. French is one of the official languages of a dozen international organizations and is the second most commonly studied foreign language in the world.

Eh bien bonne chance a tout le monde y compris M. Sam Raingsy et Dr. LAO Mong Hay. Moi je parle pas vraiment fancais mais plutot franglais. J'espere qu'un beau jour on arrive a se debarasser de Hun Sen et ses copins et des Viets de notre pays natal, n'est-ce pas? De toute facon, soyez sage. Bon courage a nous tous.
whatever. The french never like Cambodians. Why do we have to celebrate la francophone??? When we were invaded by the viets, the french did not condemn the vietnamese aggression.
