'''Quebec''' ([[French phrasebook|French]]: ''Québec'') is a province in [[Canada]], the largest in size and second only to [[Ontario]] in population. French is the first language of a majority of Quebecois and the sole official language of the province, making it the only Canadian province that is officially monolingual in French. The provincial capital [[Quebec City]] is known for its beautiful and well preserved walled city, while the province's largest city [[Montreal]] is cosmopolitan and the second largest city in Canada.
 
While mostly surrounded by English-speaking lands, Quebec is one of the few parts of North America with a preserved French heritage and language.
 
While nearly all of the 8 million inhabitants live in southern Quebec, on the plains along the St Lawrence River, the majority of the province consists of sub-arctic forests, where most of the inhabitants belong to the [[Indigenous cultures of North America|First Nations]] or Inuit.
