Montreal (/ˌmʌntriˈɔːl/ () MUN-tree-AWL;^[14] French: [mɔ̃ʁeal] (); officially Montréal) is the most populous municipality in the Canadian province of Quebec and the second-most populous municipality in Canada. Originally called Ville-Marie, or "City of Mary",^[15] it is named after Mount Royal,^[16] the triple-peaked hill in the heart of the city. The city is centred on the Island of Montreal, which took its name from the same source as the city,^[17][18] and a few much smaller peripheral islands, the largest of which is Île Bizard. It has a distinct four-season continental climate with warm to hot summers and cold, snowy winters.^[19]

In 2016 the city had a population of 1,704,694.^[9] Montreal's metropolitan area had a population of 4,098,927^[11] and a population of 1,942,044 in the urban agglomeration, with all of the municipalities on the Island of Montreal included.^[9]French is the city's official language^[20][21] and is the language spoken at home by 49.8% of the population of the city, followed by English at 22.8% and 18.3% other languages (in the 2016 census, not including multi-language responses).^[9] In the larger Montreal Census Metropolitan Area, 65.8% of the population speaks Canadian French at home, compared to 15.3% who speak English.^[11] The agglomeration Montreal is one of the most bilingual cities in Quebec and Canada, with over 59% of the population able to speak both English and French.^[9] Montreal is the second-largest primarily French-speaking city in the world, after Paris.^{[22][23][24][25]} It is situated 258 kilometres (160 mi) south-west of Quebec City.

Historically the commercial capital of Canada, Montreal was surpassed in population and in economic strength by Toronto in the 1970s.^[26] It remains an important centre of commerce, aerospace, transport, finance, pharmaceuticals, technology, design, education, art, culture, tourism, food, fashion, gaming, film and world affairs. Montreal has the second-highest number of consulates in North America,^[27] serves as the location of the headquarters of the International Civil Aviation Organization, and was named a UNESCO City of Design in 2006.^[28][29] In 2017, Montreal was ranked the 12th most liveable city in the world by the Economist Intelligence Unit in its annual Global Liveability Ranking,^[30] and the best city in the world to be a university student in the QS World University Rankings.^[31] Montreal has hosted multiple international conferences and events, including the 1967 International and Universal Exposition and the 1976 Summer Olympics.^[32][33] It is the only Canadian city to have held the Summer Olympics. In 2012, Montreal was ranked as a Beta-plus world city.^[34] As of 2016 the city hosts the Canadian Grand Prix of Formula One,^[35] the Montreal International Jazz Festival^[36] and the Just for Laughs festival.^[37]
