French
French serves as an international language, spread to various parts of the world by conquest, colonisation and as a language of culture, cuisine, high-tech industries and of diplomacy. The French hold their tongue in high regards. Some go as far as saying that the French still take threats of linguistic invasion as almost as seriously as formal military invasion, and will not go down without a fight!
The linguistic bequest of the French to the world has been indispensable. What sort of romance could be conducted without a 'tête à tête' with the right 'ambiance'. What would we eat in a restaurant or 'café' without 'casseroles', 'hors d'oeuvres', 'soufflés', 'croissants'....
