Allophone (Quebec)
In Quebec, an allophone is a resident, usually an immigrant, whose mother tongue or home language is neither French nor English.〔(2006 Census: Portrait of the Canadian Population in 2006, by Language: Note )〕〔[http://faculty.marianopolis.edu/c.belanger/QuebecHistory/events/allos.htm Allophone[s] - Events, Issues and Concepts - Quebec History]〕 The term can also be sometimes used in other parts of Canada. The term parallels ''Anglophone'' (English-speaker), and ''Francophone'', which designate people whose mother tongues are English and French, respectively. Note that native speakers of aboriginal languages are generally not treated as allophones.
==Origin of term ==
The word "allophone" is formed from the Greek roots (''állos''), meaning "other", and (''phōnḗ''), meaning "sound" or "voice". The term became popularized during the English-speaking community. As integrating immigrants was deemed essential to assure the survival of French-speaking Quebec in light of plummeting birth rates, demographers devised this category to monitor the integration of immigrants into French- and English-speaking communities. Because allophones often adopt English, French or both languages at home or learn one language before another, they can be grouped into English or French communities based on home language or first official language learned.
