Best Answer

In English, the word French is capitalized when it means the language, a French person or things from France. However, the lowercase is often used for terms that are no longer specifically French. The term "french fries" is usually not capitalized, but opinions vary on french dressing and french curve.

In French, the word français (French) is not capitalized as an adjective. It is, however, capitalized Français when it means a French person.

Do you mean in English or in French? The two have different rules about capitalizing proper nouns when they're used as descriptors.

In English, "French" is always capitalized. In French, "français" is not capitalized when referring to the French language, but it is capitalized when referring to the French people.
