Non-territorial languages
The sociolinguistic reality of contemporary France leads us to distinguish, alongside regional languages and foreign languages, languages spoken by many French immigrants and therefore not related to a particular geographical area in our country, but have been there for a long time. As long as they are not official languages abroad, these so-called non-territorial languages form with the regional languages what are called the languages of France.
- Dialectal Arabic (in its various varieties spoken in France, distinct from «literal» Arabic, official in several countries).
- Western Armenian (diasporic language, distinct from official Eastern Armenian in Armenia).
- Berber.
- Judeo-Spanish.
- Romani.
- Yiddish.
