Francophone countries include France, parts of Belgium, Canada, and Switzerland, and several countries in Africa that are former French colonies. Collectively these countries are known as the Francophonie.
A related term is anglophone, which means English-speaking. In Quebec, the term allophone has also been coined, and means "has a native language other than English or French". All three words have crossed over into Canadian English, and are politically charged to some extent.
