Thank you for your excellent question! Guadeloupe is a French-speaking overseas department, which means that Guadeloupe isn't a country per se and therefore isn't part of the list of countries above.
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.
Why is Guadeloupe missing from the list? They are French speaking.

Why is Tahiti and Nouvelle Caledonie missing from this list?
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!
