The linguistic order of the broadcasts of the previous Olympic Games

Yes, that's right.

According to statistics, 200 million people in the world speak French, which is not high compared to English and Chinese. However, to see whether a language is international, it is not only to see how many people speak it, but also how many countries and regions speak it. There are more than 70 countries in the world where English is the official language, and 100 countries where English is the main foreign language.

The Francophonie has more than 60 members and observers, and its total population exceeds 800 million, of which 200 million speak French. In other words, learning English, French, and Spanish can go all over the world without fear, while learning Chinese can only be used in the Greater China region or dealing with Chinese who go abroad. Of the 200 million French-speaking people, only 60 million are French, the rest are spread across five continents.

There are more than 20 countries and territories in the world that are de jure or de facto official languages. The number of people learning French worldwide reached 90.7 million in 2002, an increase of 15.4 million compared to 1994. Since the French-speaking population is mainly concentrated in the developing countries of Africa and the Americas, and the population of these countries is growing rapidly, the French-speaking population will continue to increase.

Compared with the Chinese population, the global population of Chinese (including Mandarin and major dialects) is as high as 1.4 billion, but 99% is concentrated in Chinese territory (including Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau), except for Singapore, which speaks Chinese. According to the most optimistic estimates, the number of people studying Chinese abroad is only about 40 million, the vast majority of whom are descendants of Chinese immigrants. In addition to immigrants of Chinese descent, foreigners in the world who study Chinese mainly come from South Korea and Japan, two countries that have historically been heavily influenced by Han culture, and the number of people learning Chinese in Europe, the United States and Africa is still very small, far less than the number of people learning French.

Taking France as an example, at the end of the 90s of the last century, there were only 2,500 students in Chinese in French secondary schools, and now there are more than 20,000, and Chinese has become the fifth most foreign language, surpassing Arabic. However, the "Chinese fever" that has emerged in France is also relative, and its rapid growth is relative to a very low starting point. At present, Chinese not only cannot challenge the monopoly of English, but also cannot be compared with European national languages.

For example, there are 800,000 secondary school students learning German, 40 times more than students learning Chinese.

Therefore, it is necessary to speak French at the Olympic Games, not only for the convenience of French-speaking athletes, coaches and journalists in the competition venues, but also for a large number of confidants around the world through live broadcasts. From a legal point of view, Article 24 of the Olympic Charter stipulates that the official languages of the IOC shall be French and English, and in the event of any ambiguity, French shall prevail.

For this reason, the IOC has long been committed to the preservation and development of the French language. The International Olympic Committee (IOC), which was established at the initiative of the Frenchman de Coubertin, was initially founded in French. Jacques Rogge, the current president of the Olympic Committee, is Belgian and belongs to the "French-speaking population".

Wrong! Because the president of the Olympic Committee, Rogge, is Belgian and his native language is French, it's as simple as that, take care of the leadership.

Because the founder of the Olympic Games, Jean-Claubertin, was French.

In honor of this founder.

There is no political element.

The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games will be in French, English, and the host Chinese.

Matters relating to the etiquette of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games must be presented in three languages, in the order of French, English and the host Chinese language (if the official language is not English or French).

If the language of the host country is jujube English, then it will be placed after French**. All ceremonial matters must be translated, and it is not required to broadcast in full, but what is not broadcast must be displayed on the big screen in the form of subtitles. Translations (e.g. what to broadcast and what to subtitle) must go through the IOC.

The origin of the first French language in the Winter OlympicsThis is due to the fact that France became the center of the revival of the modern Olympic Games and the successful hosting of the first Winter Olympics. At the same time, in order to commemorate the French, Coubertin, the father of the modern Olympic Games, wrote French as the first language of the Olympic Games into the Olympic Charter, and also as the first broadcast language. And it's not just that the first language of the Winter Olympics in Beijing is French, but every Winter Olympics is the first language of French.
