English-French

Between two tongues

English-French describes something that involves or connects both England (or English-speaking countries) and France (or French-speaking countries).

It typically refers to translations, dictionaries, or relations between the two: an English-French dictionary, English-French diplomatic tensions.

The term can also describe people of mixed English and French heritage or things that blend elements of both cultures.
