nor

I know that "nor" is conjunction in the set of negative possibilities: "neither ...nor". I wonder how they use "nor" without "neither".
"French is not the private property of French people, nor English of English people."
Please help me. Thanks.

Re: nor

Your example works for me. With neither I would prefer:

"French is not the private property of French people; neither is English the private property of English people."

With both:

"Neither French nor English is the private property of its people."

Re: Re: nor

Thanks Craig for helping me.
But I want to know more about the usage of nor in this context.
Is this sentence right? Is it right to use "nor" without "neither".
Thanks.
