Montreal or Montréal1 (IPA: /mʌntɹiˈɑl/ in Canadian English, /mɔ̃ʁeˈal/ in French) is the second largest Canadian city. With a population of 1,812,723 people it is the largest city in the province of Quebec, of which it constitutes an administrative region and the economic engine. 3,607,000 people live in the Montreal metropolitan area (Statistics Canada 2004 estimate) (See Greater Montreal Area). Montreal is the headquarter of more than 60 international organizations, including the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
Montreal is the second-largest Francophone city in the world (after Paris, though it may lose its standing to Kinshasa in the coming years) and largest city in the Americas where the majority of the population is francophone. Montreal has a substantial anglophone minority and an increasing population of allophones (those whose first language is neither English nor French), including both ethnic communities with deep historical roots, and substantial numbers of recent immigrants of whom a substantial number are integrated into the French-speaking community.
Montreal is situated in the southwest of Quebec, approximately 200 kilometres (122 miles) southwest of Quebec City, the provincial capital, and 150 kilometres (93 miles) east of Ottawa, the federal capital. The city sits on the Island of Montreal at the confluence of the Saint Lawrence River and Ottawa River; the island divides the Saint Lawrence between the main channel and Rivière des Prairies. The city also includes a total of 74 nearby islands such as Île des Soeurs, Île Bizard, Île Sainte-Hélène, and Île Notre-Dame. The city is spread over an area of 482.84 km2 (300 square miles).
