École Secondaire Népisiguit (English: Nepisiguit Secondary School) is the only French-speaking high school in the Bathurst, New Brunswick, Canada area. It holds around 1,200 students from grade nine through twelve.
French is a Romance language of the Indo-European family. It descended from the Vulgar Latin of the Roman Empire, as did all Romance languages. French evolved from Gallo-Romance, the spoken Latin in Gaul, and more specifically in Northern Gaul. Its closest relatives are the other langues d'oïl—languages historically spoken in northern France and in southern Belgium, which French (Francien) has largely supplanted. French was also influenced by native Celtic languages of Northern Roman Gaul like Gallia Belgica and by the (Germanic) Frankish language of the post-Roman Frankish invaders. Today, owing to France's past overseas expansion, there are numerous French-based creole languages, most notably Haitian Creole. A French-speaking person or nation may be referred to as Francophone in both English and French.
Bathurst is the county seat for Gloucester County, New Brunswick, and is at the estuary of the Nepisiguit River.
