5e langue mondiale par le nombre de ses locuteurs, après l’anglais, le mandarin, l’hindi et l’espagnol, la langue française est la seule, avec l’anglais, à être présente sur les 5 continents.
It's really interesting that out of all the languages in the world, French and English are the only languages that are present on the 5 continents. It's important to understand how widespread the language is.
Belgium 75% Mauritius 73% Andorra 70% Switzerland 67% Gabon 65% Congo 61% Seychelles 53% Tunisia 52% Congo (Democratic Republic) 51%
It's kind of crazy that people in Belgium speak more French than the people in Congo. French is the language of Congo, so it was surprising to see this.

En effet, les usages de la langue française (en famille, à l’école, au travail, dans les échanges internationaux…), sa présence dans l’environnement sonore et visuel des populations, la fréquence de son emploi, sont très variables selon les régions, voire selon les pays observés.

galaxie francophone
I think the author is trying to use imagery to convey the fact that a lot of countries are French speaking. A galaxy is very vast and complex. The connection with French co0untries is that the language is not only vast and complex, but the countries that speak it are also vast and complex. There are different cultures in those individual countries that speak French, but they all come together for one language, French. Just like a galaxy with individual stars. The graphs emphasize the actual statistics of French speaking countries. They provide evidence of the text. These graphs compliment the text.
