Which 11 countries speak french?

It's not quite as simple as listing 11 countries that "speak French". While French is an official language in many countries, the level of fluency and use varies greatly. Here's a breakdown:

Countries where French is an official language (29):

* Africa: Benin, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Comoros, Congo (Brazzaville), Congo (Kinshasa), Côte d'Ivoire, Djibouti, Gabon, Guinea, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Rwanda, Senegal, Seychelles, Togo

* Americas: Canada (Quebec and other provinces), Haiti

* Europe: Belgium (Wallonia and Brussels), France, Luxembourg, Monaco, Switzerland (part of the country)

* Oceania: Vanuatu

Countries where French is widely spoken but not official:

* Africa: Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia

* Europe: Andorra, Italy (Aosta Valley), Spain (Catalonia), United Kingdom (Channel Islands)

Important points to consider:

* Fluency: The percentage of the population fluent in French varies widely between countries.

* Dialects: French has many regional dialects, making communication challenging across different regions.

* Other languages: In many of these countries, French is alongside other official languages, sometimes even with lower usage than the others.

So, while there are 29 countries with French as an official language, the true number of countries where French is a dominant language is much smaller.
