Hello. I noticed you've made a change to the French language page, saying that there is an agency governing French in Louisiana. Here, I think the meaning of an "agency" is an organization that is recognized as having authority to make determinations about spelling, terminology, etc. We do not have any such authority in English, for example. This does not have to do with regulating when and where the language is used or encouraging its use, but in deciding what the language is, in a sense. Does the agency you mentioned in Louisiana have this role? Joeldl 04:06, 24 March 2007 (UTC) Sorry, I guess I meant "regulatory authority", not "agency" Joeldl 04:09, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
