What language is a mixture of English and french?

There isn't a single, widely recognized language that's a "mixture" of English and French in the sense of being a true hybrid language.

However, there are many ways English and French have influenced each other, and some situations where their features are combined:

* Creoles and Pidgins: Languages like Haitian Creole and Louisiana Creole emerged from contact between French and English with other languages. These are distinct languages with their own grammar and vocabulary.

* Regional Dialects: In areas with a history of French and English influence, like Canada, some regional dialects have borrowed words or phrases from each other.

* Code-switching: This is where people switch between English and French within a single conversation, often depending on the topic, audience, or context.

* Lexical Borrowing: Both languages have adopted words from each other over time. English has words like "bureau" and "detente", while French has words like "weekend" and "shopping".

So, while there isn't a language that's a perfect blend, there are many examples of how English and French have intermingled and influenced each other.
