What is an Asian French speaking country?

There isn't a country in Asia that is officially French-speaking.

However, there are several Asian countries with historical ties to France, including:

* Vietnam: French Indochina was a colonial territory that included Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia from the 19th to the 20th century. While French is no longer an official language in Vietnam, it is still spoken by a small number of people, mainly in older generations and in some educational institutions.

* Laos: Similar to Vietnam, French was the official language during the colonial period. It is still spoken by some people, but it is less common than in Vietnam.

* Cambodia: Similar to Vietnam and Laos, French was the official language during colonial times. It is still spoken by some people, particularly in government and education.

* India: French influence is evident in the Union Territory of Pondicherry (now Puducherry), which was a French colony for centuries. French is still spoken by a small number of people in the region.

It's important to note that while French may have a historical presence in these countries, it is not the primary language spoken. The official languages in these countries are Vietnamese, Lao, Khmer, and Hindi/English, respectively.
