Inspired of faq #79, courtesy of NWA. Thanks for their kind support!

For spanish names (español nombres), please see user tip #120. ¡Gracias Ramón Pajares Box!

In NWC	British	French
whole	semibreve	ronde
half	minim	blanche
quarter	crotchet	noire
eighth	quaver	croche
sixteenth	semiquaver	double-croche
thirty-second	demisemiquaver	triple croche
sixty-fourth	hemidemisemiquaver	quadruple croche

And for the rests ("silences") versus notes? Here it is:-

In NWC	French
whole rest	pause
half rest	demi-pause
quarter rest	soupir
eighth rest	demi-soupir
sixteenth rest	quart de soupir
thirty-second rest	huitième de soupir
sixty-fourth rest	seizième de soupir

Hope this helps! (En espérant que cela vous aide !)
