Quebec French is pretty much grammatically and in written form, identical to French from France. However, we still use a lot of words from old French when we talk (or derived from old languages such as Norman)...for exemple, chaussures (shoes) in French are Souliers in Quebec. Garocher (to throw) is not a word used in French, but we use it in QUebec, it comes from Norman where a lot of our ancestors are from. We still use a lot of expressions from old French. Being cut off from France, French has pretty much remained in the same form it was in the late 18th-19th century. French people also mentionned that we sing when we talk and that we have a more nasal accent.
It is a dialect though and not a minority language, we are over 7,000,000 Quebecers. I would classify Quebecer as similar dialect to what Austrian German is to Hochdeutsch (High german).
