List of French phrases : ウィキペディア英語版 | List of French expressions in English
English contains many words of French origin, such as ''art'', ''competition'', ''force'', ''machine'', ''money'', ''police'', ''publicity'', ''role'', ''routine'', ''table'', and many other anglicized French words. These are pronounced according to English rules of phonology, rather than French. Around 45%〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Why Study French )〕 of English vocabulary is of French origin, most coming from the Anglo-Norman spoken by the upper classes in England for several hundred years after the Norman Conquest, before the language settled into what became Modern English. This article, however, covers words and phrases that generally entered the lexicon later, as through literature, the arts, diplomacy, and other cultural exchanges not involving conquests. As such, they have not lost their character as Gallicisms, or words that seem unmistakably foreign and "French" to an English speaker. The phrases are given as used in English, and may seem correct modern French to English speakers, but may not be recognized as such by French speakers as many of them are now defunct or have drifted in meaning. A general rule is that, if the word or phrase retains French diacritics or is usually printed in italics, it has retained its French identity. Few of these phrases are common knowledge to all English speakers, and for some English speakers most are rarely if ever used in daily conversation, but for other English speakers many of them are a routine part of both their conversational and their written vocabulary.
