Treasure hunters have apparently found the 500-year-old remains of a naval expedition led by a colonizer who could have changed Florida's history, making it French-speaking at least for a while.

I disagree. Wherever the French go, they keep their language. See Louisiana and Quebec. Italians, Polish, even Mexican speakers' decendants eventually speak English here, but not the French.

New Brunswick is officially 50/50 (English and French).
