Hi Kay,

As Maarten says under the title it does say that this is some of the list of French-speaking countries and not the full list.

If you are interested in knowing more, you will find the info on the following website -

https://www.francophonie.org/88-etats-et-gouvernements-125

Incidentally, Tahiti is an island which is part of French Polynesia.

Bonne Continuation!

2 possible reasons I can think of: 1) it is an incomplete list, as it notes, and 2) neither French Polynesia nor New Caledonia are independent countries.
