| | Allophone[s] - Events, Issues and Concepts - Quebec History |
 | | Allophone is a term used in Quebec, and in the rest of Canada, to describe people whose language is neither English nor French; the term is derived from Greek and simply means other languages. |
 | | Aside from natives, who continue to speak in majority their ancestral languages in Quebec, and who constitute a separate category, what allophones have in common is their fairly recent immigration to Quebec. |
 | | But starting from around 1896, immigration of allophones was to become important in Quebec, as it did in the rest of Canada. |
