 In Quebec, it is more often called "International French" or "Radio Canada French" because of decades of a foreign, European pronunciation dominating both news and cultural broadcasts until the 1970s.In the rest of Francophone Canada, the spoken and written varieties of formal Quebec French as well as language in Government of Canada documents and speeches are viewed as Standard French.Linguists have been debating what actually constitutes the norm for Standard French in Quebec and Canada on a lexical level since research, to date, has concentrated much more on the differences from informal varieties of Quebec French and Acadian French.
