Allophones

First Language Dept: I am also part of the new trend of younger allophones who are more likely to use French at home, according to Montreal Gazette. In addition to their mother tongue which they often speak less fluently than the language they learned at daycare or school , younger allophones in Montreal are now increasingly speaking French at home and i grew up speaking Cantonese with my parents, and French at school, and now I work in French and in English. I fall into the category of allophones, those people whose first language is neither French nor English. As a child of Bill 101, I went to school in French, and consequently brought some French the language I spoke with my sister back home. My family, moreover, is a living example of the 2011 census s findings that French is taking root among immigrants. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
