Franco-Ontarian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia As a result, the complex political and sociological context of Franco-Ontarian can only be fully understood by recognizing both meanings and understanding the distinctions between the two. The term "Ontarois" (on the model of Québécois) was once popular to distinguish French-speaking Ontarians, although the regular term for Ontarian in French is Ontarien. Although Ontario as a whole is not officially bilingual, the Ontario government's French Language Services Act of 1986 designates 23 areas of the province where provincial ministries and agencies are required to provide local French-language services to the public. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Franco-Ontarian   (2770 words)

Seguin, Roger N., What Do French-Canadians Expect of Ontario? Education in his mother tongue permits the Franco-Ontarian to receive the values of his society and his way of life in the same way an English-speaking Ontarian does in schools where English is the language of instruction and communication. Both for himself and his children, the Franco-Ontarian wants to preserve his language, customs and culture as an integral part of Canadian life.

OUP: Linguistic Consequences of Language Contact and Restriction: Mougeon This book is the result of ten years of extensive research on Ontarian French, a dialect which has been largely ignored by linguists. Given the prevalence of language contact in communities throughout the world, there are as yet insufficient studies to permit typological generalization about the subject: this series aims to fill that gap. It therefore complements writings on the more popular subject of Quebec French, and contributes a significant new body of data. www.oup.co.uk /isbn/0-19-824827-X   (359 words)
