To a lesser extent, French words, from the French presence in the Louisiana area and in Canada, contributed loanwords like gopher, prairie, depot, cache, cent and dime, as well as French-derived place names like Detroit, Illinois, Des Moines, etc.

在较小程度上，来自法语在路易斯安那地区和加拿大的存在的法语单词贡献了诸如 gopher、prairie、depot、cache、cent 和 dime 等外来词，以及源自法语的地名，如底特律、伊利诺伊州、得梅因， ETC。
