French is spoken in France and parts of north America. Most people are very emotional about their native language so they feel every deviation of it is just wrong.
The most common and seemingly natural view is that France French is “right” and oversea French is not but honestly it’s arbitrary. OP turned it around and so I did too, eventhough I myself live in a non French European country. Well, we all hate our neighbors and the enemy is my enemy is my friend I guess.
That’s a false fact.
And it’s apparent, since there are dozens of accents in the US as well as umin the UK and there were dozens in the UK 200 years ago. They all developed in their own direction, being sometimes isolated sometimes cross-pollinating with other accents, but none staid the same.
I don’t get it. How is French an American language? I don’t understand the meme overall either

I’ve heard Canadian French is closer to the French France Frenched a few hundred years ago.
IIRC that’s correct.
Kinda like how the American accent is closer to OG British English than the current British English pronunciation.
