Incredible but true, Paris is not the most French-speaking city in the world. That title goes to Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.


More than 321 million people speak French across the globe on five continents.

Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo: 12.8 million inhabitants
Paris, France: 11 million inhabitants
Abidjan, Ivory Coast: 5.4 million inhabitants
Yaoundé, Cameroon: 4.6 million inhabitants
Casablanca, Morocco: 4.3 million inhabitants
Bamako, Mali: 4 million inhabitants

Algiers, Algeria: 3.7 million inhabitants
Dakar, Senegal: 3.7 million inhabitants
Montreal, Quebec, Canada: 3.7 million inhabitants
Mbuji-Mayi, Democratic Republic of the Congo: 3.6 million inhabitants
