A later appeared creole of English, and French
Differences between Quebecois and le French:
-No grammatical genders (excluding pronouns)
-Uvular fricative turns into Velar fricative (depends on dialect)
-Existence of the alveolar trill with its separate letter
-An Open Central nasalized Vowel
-The lack of a labiodental /v/, instead, having a /ʋ/ as the phone for <v>
-More English loan words, and occasionally German too
-Existence of the Alveolar affricates, with <z> for /ts/ and <ɖ> for /dz/
