How did Belgian French develop different number words from French spoken in France? Once upon a time, French was not a language, but an entire language family — the “languages of oïl”. Because they had in common their word for “yes”… From “oïl”, pronounced /oh-weel/, came “oui”, prounouced /wee/. (The duration of ‘ee’ is short, though.) A narrow language family it was, yet still: The different ‘dialects’ could hardly understand each other: They differed in their different mixtures of Latin/Roman, Celtic/Gallic, and Germanic. Also: different phonological evolutions didn’t happen the same everywhere. You can see some remnants of that in English. By far the biggest infusion of French words happened in the centuries after the Norman conquest of 1066, when England was ruled by the Anglo-Normans (who brought along their Norman French dialect). So that’s why “excellence” (an old borrowing) is pronounced differently from “par excellence” = /par excellãs/ (adopted much more recently). Somet...

With summer on the horizon, mojitos and daiquiris are poised for heavy rotation on the patio circuit. But before you reach for the same old bottle of gold or spiced rum, consider an upgrade: rhum agricole. French for agricultural rum, rhum agricole is a unique style of rum that's finding its way into more American bars and liquor stores as demand for high-quality spirits continues to grow. Originating from the island of Martinique, where volcanic soil fosters prime growing conditions for sugar cane, rhum agricole differs from other rums in that it's made from distilled cane juice, rather than distilled molasses. Because its production process yields more flavors from actual sugar cane stalks than molasses-based rums, it's less saccharine. Especially for rum drinkers who've never strayed from mainstream white, gold and spiced rum, the taste of rhum agricole is an acquired one. Ben Jones, North American regional director and spokesman for Martinique-based Rhum Clement...
