Francophone actually refers to anyone who comes from a
French-
influenced
culture, i.e., someone from
Haiti, or
Cote d'Ivoire, or
Vietnam, or
Louisiana, or any other French
colonies (or former colonies.) Also, in a
broader sense, it refers to someone who is a
student of
French culture. (Not to be confused with a
francophile, which is someone who
loves French culture.)
