Allophone (person)

In Canada, an allophone is a resident whose first language is neither French nor English.[1][2] The term parallels anglophone and francophone, which designate people whose mother tongues are English and French, respectively. Some sources do not consider native speakers of Indigenous languages to be allophones.[3]
