They have not. They have laws to make sure the French government in its official documents uses French as far as possible, as French is the language of France, but there are no laws that forbid the use of foreign words.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The French Académie française, regarded as the
official custodians of the French language resists the addition of new foreign words (especially those coming from English) to the language. The French have a high regard for their own culture and I think they feel threatened by the global adoption of English as a prefered second language. The Academy is entrusted with protecting French from "Anglo-Saxon" attacks and writing an official dictionary. An example of what they do is come to up with French equivalents to unwanted English words that slip into French - for example turning "email" into "courriel".Wiki User

How do the french and English contribute to Canada being a bilingual country?
beats me ----------------------- Canada is a multilignual country, with Punjabi being the third most spoken and over one hundred langages being used regularly. Outside of one province French is a minority language with much less use than other languages. French and even English would be in major decline if it was not for the language laws in Canada that require the use of English and French. So they contribute by making their languages the law.
What are Switzerlands four major languages?
Wikipedia says :Switzerland lies at the crossroads of several major European cultures that have heavily influenced the country's languages and culture. Switzerland has four official languages: German (63.7% total population share, with foreign residents; 72.5% of residents with Swiss citizenship, in 2000) in the north, east and centre of the country; French (20.4%; 21.0%) to the west; Italian (6.5%; 4.3%) in the south.[121] Romansh (0.5%; 0.6%), a Romance language spoken locally in the southeastern trilingual canton of Graubünden, is designated by the Federal Constitution as a national language along with German, French and Italian (Article 4 of the Constitution), and as official language if the authorities communicate with persons of Romansh language (Article 70), but federal laws and other official acts do not need to be decreed in this language. The federal government is obliged to communicate in the official languages, and in the federal parliament simultaneous translation is provided from and into German, French and Italian.[122]In short, German, French, Italian, and Romansh, in that order.
Is Saying Bad words possible?
It depends on what you mean by "possible." If you mean "is it a good thing to do?" the answer is usually no. In fact, if you are young, you will get in trouble for saying certain words. But if you are asking "do people say bad words?" the answer is that many people do, even if they know they should not. The truth is that every language has bad words, and there have been bad words throughout history. People were always told not to say these words, but at one time or other, many people did say them. There used to be laws against swearing or cursing, but today saying bad words is not against the law-- it's just considered rude in a number of circumstances. You would not want to say bad words to your teacher or during a job interview, for example.
