  • Speak White is a French language poem composed by Québécois writer Michèle Lalonde in 1968. It was first recited in 1970 and was published in 1974 by Editions de l'Hexagone, Montreal. It denounced the poor situation of French-speakers in Quebec and takes the tone of a collective complaint against English-speaking Quebecers. Her poem is not, however, directed solely or even primarily at English Canada, often citing British and American references such as Shakespeare, Keats, the Thames, the Potomac and Wall Street as its symbols of linguistic oppression. In 1980, Speak White was made into a short motion picture by polemicists Pierre Falardeau and Julien Poulin, the six-minute film featured actress Marie Eykel reading Lalonde's poem. It was released by the National Film Board of Canada. Italian-Quebecer journalist and playwright Marco Micone also wrote a poem in response called Speak What?, depicting allophone immigrants as having replaced the Québécois as the oppressed class in Quebec, and calling for a more inclusive society.
  • Speak white (Parli blanc en anglès) és una injúria proferida als Canadencs francesos pels Canadencs anglesos quan parlen el francès en públic. Aquesta expressió pejorativa gairebé més no és utilitzada actualment, generalment condemnada per l'opinió popular. La invectiva ha inspirat igualment un poema escrit per Michèle Lalonde el 1968 i una pel·lícula realitzada per Pierre Falardeau i Julien Poulin el 1980.
  • Speak white (en français, « Parlez blanc ») est une injure proférée aux Canadiens français par les Canadiens anglais lorsqu'ils parlent le français en public. Cette expression péjorative n'est presque plus utilisée de nos jours, généralement condamnée par l'opinion populaire. L'invective a également inspiré un poème écrit par Michèle Lalonde en 1968 et un film réalisé par Pierre Falardeau et Julien Poulin en 1980.
  • Speak white (дословный перевод Говори бело) — выражение в англоязычных странах (особенно в таких странах как США и Канада), которое белые колонизаторы употребляли, когда слышали малопонятную им речь негров или индейцев на пиджине, креольских или автохтонных языках. Ругательство было позднее популяризованно в антиколониальной, антиимпериалистической, художественной, а затем и научно-исторической литературе как один из символов колониализма, ксенофобии, расизма и сегрегации.
