The French geographer Onsime Reclus first coined the word francophonie in 1880to designate geographical entities where French was spoken. Today, la francophonierefers to the collective body of over one hundred million people all over the worldwho speak French, exclusively or in part, in their daily lives. The term francophonierefers to the diverse official organizations, governments, and countries that promotethe use of French in economic, political, diplomatic, and cultural exchanges.Politically, French remains the second most important language in the world. In someFrancophone nations, French is the official language (France), or the co-officiallanguage (Cameroon); in others, it is spoken by a minority who share a commoncultural heritage (Andorra). The French language is present in Europe, Africa, theAmericas, and Oceania.
