	French language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The earliest extant text in French is the Oaths of Strasbourg from 842; Old French became a literary language with the chansons de geste that told tales of the paladins of Charlemagne and the heroes of the Crusades.
		French has been the only official language of Quebec since 1974, although it is commonly (and incorrectly) believed that the designation of French as the sole official language occurred in 1977 with the adoption of the Charter of the French Language (which is popularly referred to as Bill 101).
		French is an official language of New Brunswick, the Yukon Territory, the Northwest Territories, and Nunavut.

	IS PROVIDING PROVERBS A TOUGH JOB
		The number of proverbs that remain undiscovered by this method cannot be estimated, as we lack statistics on how often the «proverbiality» of a proverb is emphasised and how often its usage is marked.
		Proverbs occurring in the Economy column of Eesti Päevaleht were comparatively more abundant, including a striking example of manipulation with a proverb that was included in an insurance agent's call for buying insurance: «As the saying goes, «Stinging is no economy», and so is not being insured.
		These additional proverbs were all situated in the first or the last paragraphs, and the «topic» of the proverb was not deviated from - the whole of the text between the proverb and the text border constituted a preparatory statement for the proverb or its conclusion.

		Also, after Erasmus of Rotterdam published adages in the 1500s, many "international medieval" proverbs were made from Latin and Greek sayings, some of which were terse aces of learning from days gone by.

	Middle French Proverbs, Sentences and Proverbial Phrases
		I would loosely define it as a proverb stripped of its poetry (alliteration, rhythm et al) to the plainest of truisms, and would call such a sayings as "On doit aider son ami" a sentence.
		Such identifications include the nouns "proverbe," by far the most common, "aphorisme," "parler," "sentence," "dit" "commune raison," "commune parole," parabole," "mot," as well as the phrases "on dit," "aucuns dient," "jíai ouy dire," and the like.
		When there are differences to such a degree, we are no longer considering clichés of language, the phrases or sentences that flow automatically, and that are in fact "words" composed of many words in a set or nearly set pattern.
