Question

This language had an unpopular orthographic system refined by Frank Laubach, and is the lexifier for a different language that uses yo to mark plurals. Some varieties of this language exhibit a phenomenon called “Ouisme” (“oo-EEZ-muh”). The St. Marys Bay variety of this language unusually uses the simple past in spoken conversation. Michif (10[1])is a combination of this language with Cree, (-5[1])and many Ojibwe and Cree loan-words are found in the variety of this language (-5[1])spoken by the Métis people. Most Acadians speak varieties (10[2])of this language, which forms the basis (-5[1])of Haitian Creole. For 10 points, what language is the primary language spoken in Québec? ■END■ (10[3])

ANSWER: French [or français; accept Québécois French or Acadian French or St Marys Bay French or Métis French; accept Canadian French or français canadien; accept Chiac or Acadian before “Acadian”; accept Québécois before “Québec” is mentioned; prompt on Haitian Creole by asking “that is based on what language?”; reject “French Canadian”]
