About 95% of the people of Quebec speak French as either their first or second language, and for some as their third language. Quebec is also home to the city of [[Montreal]], which is the world's 4th-largest French-speaking city, by number of first language speakers.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.touristmaker.com/blog/what-are-the-largest-french-speaking-cities-in-the-world/ |title=What are the largest French-speaking cities in the world? |website=Tourist Maker |language=en-US |access-date=2016-10-06}}</ref> [[New Brunswick]] and [[Manitoba]] are the only officially bilingual provinces, though full bilingualism is enacted only in New Brunswick, where about one third of the population is Francophone. French is also an official language of all of the territories ([[Northwest Territories]], [[Nunavut]], and [[Yukon]]). Out of the three, Yukon has the most French speakers, comprising just under 4% of the population.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www12.statcan.ca/english/census06/data/topics/RetrieveProductTable.cfm?ALEVEL=3&APATH=3&CATNO=&DETAIL=0&DIM=&DS=99&FL=0&FREE=0&GAL=0&GC=99&GK=NA&GRP=1&IPS=&METH=0&ORDER=1&PID=89201&PTYPE=88971&RL=0&S=1&ShowAll=No&StartRow=1&SUB=701&Temporal=2006&Theme=70&VID=0&VNAMEE=&VNAMEF=&GID=838089 |title=Detailed Mother Tongue (186), Knowledge of Official Languages (5), Age Groups (17A) and Sex (3) (2006 Census) |publisher=2.statcan.ca |date=December 7, 2010 |accessdate=February 22, 2011}}</ref> Furthermore, while French is not an official language in [[Ontario]], the [[French Language Services Act]] ensures that provincial services are to be available in the language. The Act applies to areas of the province where there are significant Francophone communities, namely [[Eastern Ontario]] and [[Northern Ontario]]. Elsewhere, sizable French-speaking minorities are found in southern Manitoba, [[Nova Scotia]], [[Prince Edward Island]] and the [[Port au Port Peninsula]] in [[Newfoundland and Labrador]], where the unique [[Newfoundland French]] dialect was historically spoken. Smaller pockets of French speakers exist in all other provinces. The city of Ottawa, the Canadian capital, is also effectively bilingual, as it is on the other side of a river from Quebec, opposite the major city of Gatineau, and is required to offer governmental services in French as well as English.{{Citation needed|date=March 2015}}

Louisiana is home to many distinct dialects, collectively known as [[Louisiana French]].
