French in New York City —
A Diverse French-Speaking Community
New York City's French-speaking community is notable for its diversity. It includes West African immigrants from Senegal, Guinea, Mali, Ivory Coast, Cameroon, and the Democratic Republic of Congo; Caribbean French speakers from Martinique and Guadeloupe; North African immigrants from Morocco and Algeria, who may use French for official documents; and European French speakers. The largest French-speaking West African communities are concentrated in Harlem, the South Bronx, and parts of Brooklyn.
French is one of New York City's ten designated Citywide Languages under Local Law 30, meaning city agencies, NYC Health + Hospitals, and NYC DOE schools are required to provide language access in French for LEP constituents. MEJPBS supports government agencies, healthcare providers, and social service organizations in meeting this obligation.
MEJPBS's French linguists serve the full spectrum of NYC's French-speaking communities. That ranges from West African families navigating USCIS immigration applications with French-language government documents, to European French speakers who need certified translation for business or legal purposes.
