Canadian French
Canadian French and Standard French differ little in the written form. It is dominant in Quebec where it is the dominant language (see map). Canadian French uses some verbs used in Standard French in 1700's as well as some anglicisms,
a sign of the influence English has had. These differences are due to Quebec's isolation from France in terms of distance and commercial links since the 1700's.
USA has always had strong commercial links.
African French
French, although the most widely spoken of any language in Africa, is normally a second language, with the dominant language being the national native language. Although some classes (middle-upper) in Tunisia, Algeria and Morroco speak it as a first language or are bilingual (French/Arabic).
