text: Like the Germanic QWERTZ layout , it is modeled on the English QWERTY layout , and it is used by most French speakers based in Europe , though France and Belgium each have their own national variations on the layout . Most of the inhabitants of Quebec , the French-speaking province of Canada , use a QWERTY keyboard that has been adapted to the French language , although the government of Quebec and the Canadian federal government stipulate and use the Multilingual Standard keyboard CAN\/CSA Z243.200-92 .
simplified: It is very similar to the QWERTY keyboard layout .
