About English and French
English (English) is written in the Latin script and spoken by about 1.5 billion, mainly in the UK, the US, Canada, Australia, Ireland, India and most international organisations. US documents write dates month-first (04/10/2026 is April 10) while British and most other documents write them day-first, so check dates carefully when moving between regions.
French (Français) is written in the Latin script and spoken by about 310 million, mainly in France, Belgium, Switzerland, Canada (Quebec), Luxembourg and much of West and Central Africa. French typography puts a non-breaking space before : ; ? and ! and uses « » guillemets for quotations, which matters in contracts and printed material.
