Category:French rare terms

French terms that are rarely found in general use and may not be recognized by some native speakers.

To categorize into this category, use {{tlb|fr|rare}} (template tlb, not lb), which should typically be placed next to the headword.

If the term is merely a variant (alternative form) of a term in general use, it should be categorized instead in [[Category:French rare forms]] (using {{rare form of|fr|...}} or {{rare spelling of|fr|...}}). If only some senses of the term are rare, it should be categorized instead in [[Category:French terms with rare senses]], using {{lb|fr|rare}} (template lb instead of tlb), which should typically be placed next to the individual sense.

Rare terms should be distinguished from uncommon terms, which are not common but used enough to be generally recognized.

The following label generates this category: rare term^edit. To generate this category using this label, use {{lb|fr|label}}.

In addition, the following sense-dependent labels generate this category: rare (alias rare sense)^edit; very rare^edit. To generate this category using one of these labels, use {{tlb|fr|label}}.
