The English-speaking (E) and French-speaking (F) populations were calculated
SASKATCHEWAN MANITOBA according to first official language spoken, as defined by the Official Languages Regulations.
E: 1,061,110 (98%) E: 1,204,798 (95.5%) The data (for first official language spoken) includes multiple responses that were
F: 14,440 (1.3%) F: 40,973 (3.2%) distributed equally among English and French by dividing the “English and French”
responses by two and adding the quotient to the single responses for English and French.
The figures for the English-speaking (E) and French-speaking (F) populations for each province does not correspond
to 100% since the data excludes the category “neither English nor French” for the first official language spoken.
