Everything about Francophone totally explained
The adjective
francophone (alternately
Francophone) means
French-speaking, typically as primary language, whether referring to individuals, groups or places. Often, the word is used as a noun to describe a natively French-speaking person.

The term specifically refers to people whose cultural background is primarily associated with French language, regardless of ethnic and geographical differences. The francophone culture beyond Europe is the legacy of the
French colonial empire and
that of Belgium (
Congo,
Burundi and
Rwanda).
Mainly or partially francophone countries include
France,
Belgium (
Wallonia is almost entirely francophone, and there's a large French-speaking community in the
Brussels-Capital Region and
a few bordering municipalities),
Canada (the province of
Quebec is mostly francophone, and there are large French-speaking communities in
Ontario and
New Brunswick),
Switzerland,
Haiti,
Lebanon and the
French West Indies, several countries in
Africa that are former French or Belgian colonies, and
Tahiti in the
South Pacific. These countries are members of the
Francophonie organization.
