The Bar Graph for IELTS

The bar charts give information about the number of French people who spoke their regional languages in the past and spoke now within their families.

It can clearly be seen that the regional languages, compared to the past, are spoken less by their families today than they used to be.

As we can observe, Occitan language was spoken more than other regional languages in the past. Furthermore, Occitan were habitually spoken by 600,000 people, whereas it was occasionally spoken by 1,080,000 people. On the other hand, there is a significant decrease in the number of people speaking the language with their children now. It has dropped to solely 250,000 speakers.

Today, the most common regional language is Alsatian which was spoken habitually as much as Occitan, however it was spoken occasionally among only by 240.000 people.
By contrast, 60.000 people speak Corsican language which has the lowest rates on the charts.

In conclusion, the number of people who was speaking the all French regional languages within families habitually or occasionally has decreased prominently.
