OIF is an international organisation of French-speaking countries and governments, and also, in French, to the community of French-speaking people. Formally known as the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie (OIF) or the International Organization of La Francophonie, the organisation comprises over 60 member states and governments and thirteen observers. The prerequisite for admission is not the degree of French usage in the member countries, but a prevalent presence of French culture and French language in the member country’s identity, usually stemming from France’s interaction with other nations in its history. French geographer Onésime Reclus coined the word Francophonie in 1880 to refer to the community of people and countries using the French language.
