[QUOTE="user 6274, post: 607013, member: 6274"] That is correct, Bud. It's, currently, close to the contemporary French spoken in Bretagne or Normandie, I can't remember precisely which region. I was watching a video about (the Bretagne or Normandie region) and was struck by how similar to Québécois the people in the video sounded. For example, the word [I]bas[/I] (sock) used in Québec is called [I]chaussettes[/I] in France. Yet, [I]bas[/I] comes from [I]bas de chausse[/I], which was the sock covering the foot and part of the leg worn centuries ago. It was simply shortened but is an example of how the old French was preserved. Sometimes, I suspect French people simply pretend they do not understand Québec French; yet, people in Québec can perfectly understand the French. Now, why is that? ;) [/QUOTE]
