The bar charts illustrate how many French adults whose parents spoke French dialects to them in their childhood and the number of adults speaking these regional languages to their offspring.
Overall, it is obvious that Occitan language was once prevalent, despite its habitual or occasional use in the past. In contrast, Corsican was the least preferred spoken language among those five. Moreover, compared to the current state, Alsatian is the most widely spoken language in France for adults to use with their children, while Corsican remains the least prevalent one.
In the first bar chart, although Alsatian was habitually used by 600,000 people in the old generation, the figure for the use of Alsatian language decreased by nearly 400,000 when it was spoken occasionally. Breton language, by contrast, was spoken regularly by about 270,000 adults, and the number of people speaking Breton saw a modest increase by approximately a half when it was unusually used. 600,000 French people spoke Occitan on a regular basis, and the proportion of people who spoke it almost doubled in occasional use, making it the most popular dialect. However, Creole and Corsican were the two languages least applied in both habitual and unusual French conversation, with 200,000 people practicing generally.
The second chart shows Alsatian is the language most spoken by French adults to their offspring, despite the decline in the usage compared to that of the older era, with 400,000 speakers. However, Occitan is no longer the top prevailing dialect in native dialogues as there are about 250,000 French people speaking it. The same downtrend can be seen in the figure for people using Breton to communicate with their children, with a drop to just under 10,000. There are nearly 100,000 French speakers of Creole, remaining almost unchanged to the past. The most irregular language is Corsican, with over 80,000 uses in French family talk.
