Quebec: Nombre español de la ciudad y provincia canadienses cuyo nombre en francés es Québec. En español se escribe sin tilde por ser palabra aguda —como en francés (pron. [kebék])— y terminar en consonante distinta de -n o -s. Los gentilicios son quebequés, de uso mayoritario, y quebequense. No se admiten quebequeño ni quebecense. 2, record 3, Spanish, - Quebec
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 2 OBS
No existe consenso entre los autores sobre el género de los nombres de ciudades y provincias. Aunque algunos sostienen que los nombres que terminan en -a son femeninos y los que terminan en otra vocal o consonante son masculinos, generalmente se hace la concordancia con el sustantivo femenino ciudad, o provincia, según sea el caso. 3, record 3, Spanish, - Quebec
