The majority of the French-Canadian population in the United States is found in the New England area, although there is also a large French-Canadian presence in [[Plattsburgh, New York]], across [[Lake Champlain]] from [[Burlington, Vermont]]. Quebec and Acadian emigrants settled in industrial cities like [[Fitchburg, Massachusetts|Fitchburg]], [[Leominster, Massachusetts|Leominster]], [[Lynn, Massachusetts|Lynn]], [[Worcester, Massachusetts|Worcester]], [[Haverhill, Massachusetts|Haverhill]], [[Waltham, Massachusetts|Waltham]], [[Lowell, Massachusetts|Lowell]], [[Gardner, Massachusetts|Gardner]], [[Lawrence, Massachusetts|Lawrence]], [[Chicopee, Massachusetts|Chicopee]], [[Somerset, Massachusetts|Somerset]], [[Fall River, Massachusetts|Fall River]], and [[New Bedford, Massachusetts|New Bedford]] in [[Massachusetts]]; [[Woonsocket, Rhode Island|Woonsocket]] in [[Rhode Island]]; [[Manchester, New Hampshire|Manchester]] and [[Nashua, New Hampshire|Nashua]] in [[New Hampshire]]; [[Bristol, Connecticut|Bristol]], [[Hartford, Connecticut|Hartford]],  and [[East Hartford, Connecticut|East Hartford]] in [[Connecticut]]; throughout the state of [[Vermont]], particularly in [[Burlington, Vermont|Burlington]], [[St. Albans (city), Vermont|St. Albans]], and [[Barre, Vermont (city)|Barre]]; and [[Biddeford, Maine|Biddeford]] and [[Lewiston, Maine|Lewiston]] in [[Maine]]. Smaller groups of French Canadians settled in the Midwest, notably in the states of [[Michigan]], Illinois, [[Wisconsin]], Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, and [[Minnesota]]. French Canadians also settled in central North Dakota, largely in [[Rolette County, North Dakota|Rolette]] and [[Bottineau County, North Dakota|Bottineau]] counties, and in South Dakota.

Some [[Métis people (Canada)|Metis]] still speak [[Michif]], a language influenced by French, and a mixture of other European and Native American tribal languages.
