Why do tunisians speak french?

Answer 1

From 1881 to 1956, Tunisia was under French rule. The French language was taught to Tunisian children, who in turn taught it to their children. Of course, many Tunisians still speak Arabic (the official language) but there are still French speakers there.

Answer 2

Tunisia was a French protectorate from 1881 to 1956, which led to the widespread use of French in government, education, and business. French continues to be spoken in Tunisia as a legacy of colonial history and due to its status as a major language of international communication.
