Revival of the French Language

Today on all sides are hear disturbing voices: cut is losing its stead in the world, the french put out! In May this year, representatives of the largest associations for the testimonial and promotion of the French actors line summed up the woeful: the Anglo-Ameri quite a little row prevails everywhere - in the thrift and advertising, in public institutions and in the army, in education and in international organizations. Until relatively recently, French remained the official language of fragility and international community. Signed in 1905, the Russian-Japanese peace treaty was gaunt up in French, because we trust that it differs with such clarity and precision, which is not possessed by both other language. Alas, it is representative of the French nation that they first bust this international tradition, and not vindicatory anybody, and President Georges Clemenceau. In fruition of British and American affiliate Clemenceau suggested that the text of the Treaty of V ersailles was draw up in deuce languages - French and English. This was the first cadence towards a bilingual notification of international documents. The first measure to the current state of affairs. Today, in many French firms in the administrative councils which are notwithstanding reserved for the French, workshops are held, specially enough, in the English language. critical documentation of French companies in like manner somehow are in English. Held in France on congresses and symposia involving in the main French, English speech sounds nark even foreigners. French is bingle of the working languages of the United Nations, but 90% of the documents are emaciated up in English. The European institutions seem to have concur on the priority of French and English, but in point the English so a good deal preferred that the French can hardly put up with it. Will the French language one day be in the position of Indian languages, about which Chateaubriand noted that t hey only remember the old parrots from Orenoka?\n queerly enough...
