Celebrating French-American Heritage Month

July is French-American Heritage Month. Today, about 11.8 million U.S. residents are of French or French Canadian descent, and about 2 million speak French at home. 

An additional 750,000 U.S. residents speak a French-based creole language, according to the 2011 census.
