Usage Note
Notamment introduces specific examples within a general statement — similar to English 'in particular' or 'notably'. It appears mid-sentence or after a comma and is very common in written and formal spoken French. Do not confuse it with notoirement (notoriously), which carries a negative connotation.
Examples
"Il parle plusieurs langues, notamment le français."
Natural Translation
He speaks several languages, notably French.
