French Americans are citizens or nationals of the United States who identify themselves with having full or partial French heritage, ethnicity, and/or ancestral ties. Sometimes referred to as Franco-Americans, members of this group are also those who have declared allegiance either informally or formally to both France and the United States of America. People with dual citizenship of both France and the United States are commonly referred to as French-Americans. As of January 2018, the largest population of French American people are in the state of Maine. The state is home to the largest French-speaking population in the country and the largest concentration of people of French extraction . The second largest state housing French Americans is Louisiana. The largest French-speaking population in the U.S. is found in St. Martin Parish. Country-wide, there are about 10.4 million U.S. residents that are of French or French Canadian descent, and about 2 million speak French at home as of 2010 census. An additional 750,000 U.S. residents speak a French-based creole language, according to the 2011 American Community Survey.While Americans of French descent make up a substantial percentage of the American population, French Americans are arguably less visible than other similarly sized ethnic groups. This is due in part to the high degree of assimilation among Huguenot settlers, as well as the tendency of French American groups to identify more strongly with New World regional identities such as Acadian or Brayon, American-Cajun, or Louisiana Creole. Due to the immigration of French people to the United Stated originating in colonial periods resulting in a large admixture with other ethnic groups, French Americans may identify with a more recent and differentiating population, in particular due to the large amounts of intermarriage of Huguenot settlers and Dutch Americans. This has inhibited the development of a unified French American identity as is the case with other European American ethnic groups.
