About Onésime Reclus
- Onésime Reclus (22 September 1837, Orthez, Pyrénées-Atlantiques – 30 June 1916, Sainte-Foy-la-Grande, Gironde) was a French geographer who specialized in the relations between France and its colonies. In 1880 he coined the term "Francophonie" as a means of classification of peoples of the world, being determined by the language (French) they spoke.
- While this term did not appear in dictionaries until 1930, it has become more important since the late 20th century as part of conceptual rethinking of cultures and geography.
