However, there are two countries in the Americas that have French as their official language:
* Canada: French is one of the two official languages of Canada, alongside English. While English is spoken by the majority of the population, French is spoken by a significant portion of the population, particularly in the province of Quebec.
* Haiti: French is the official language of Haiti, although Creole is more widely spoken in everyday life.
It's important to distinguish between "America" (which generally refers to North America) and "the Americas" (which encompasses both North and South America).
