Québécois refers to a resident of Quebec, Canada. It may also refer to the Québécois dialect of French, which is mostly oral but has been translated into text by many songwriters and playwrights such as Michel Tremblay. The best-known form of the Québécois dialect is joual, which combines traditional Quebec accent and vocabulary with a distinct vocabulary unto itself, including many adapted English words. Joual is spoken primarily in Montreal and specifically in its francophone east end.
Some anglophones use the term Quebecer (or Quebecker) to refer to any resident of Quebec.
In French, québécois means both Québécois and Quebecer. It also refers to a resident of Quebec City.
