As a native French speaker, Louisiana creole was way more easy to understand than Haitian creole, the difficult thing is the writing, it's so different it was actually easier when I wasn't watching the screen, which is funny because it's the exact opposite when I'm trying to understand other romance languages. But once again, super interesting video!

Other romance languages have a different rhythm and use different phonemes to French. English native speakers have the same thing with French (written is easier to understand at the start than speaking). Creoles are the opposite, because they generally keep the same rhythm and have more similar phonemes.

Well it's more likely that Louisiana creole has been significantly influenced by Cajun French (also spoken in Louisiana and is considered a variety of Fench, not a creole) which in turn was the result of a French dialect that evolved over time by the descendants of Acadians who were forced to migrate to other areas after their homeland was taken over by the British. The Haitian creole spoken in the other video appear more "creolized" (i.e. basilect) to me compared to this one imo.

Ooo this is fascinating! I’m surprised at how easy Louisiana creole is to understand, even for a non-native French speaker like me 😅

I'm curious to know how a French speaker from France would describe Louisiana Creole. Respectfully, would you describe it as "broken" French, like how in the U.S. we say that people who use a dialect full of slang and bad grammar are speaking "broken English." Or, would you say it's more of an accent? Or, would you say it's French with other words that aren't French (e.g. English or Spanish or Native American)?

@oOochikaraoOo

3 жыл бұрын

@@MyAccountForCommenting Not broken, no. Maybe because Christophe and Saskia sound confident when speaking their respective Creoles, so it doesn't feel like it isn't their native tongue. The thing is, we don't really say "broken X" like you would. We'd say that someone uses slang or makes mistakes if they speak the same variant we do. If they don't, it's an accent/dialect, but not "broken". I'd say Louisiana Creole sounds fluid? It has a soft, relaxing quality. Feels kinda reggae-ish too, haha. You might be right saying it's more of an accent, since most of it is easily intelligible. Even more so than some variants of Québécois which is (I think?) regarded as an accent and not a dialect (?).

I imagine that there is "proper French," meaning vocabulary words you'd find in a dictionary and grammar you'd be taught in school. I'm looking for an objective short answer of whether Louisiana creole is (1) "proper French" with an accent, (2) French with unique vocabulary words such as slang and words derived from other languages, (3) French with improper grammar, (4) a mix of these, or (5) something else. Your answer is going more into the cultural/social aspects of whether the dialect is accepted as part of the "french identity." That's a much different topic from my question.

The subject of the video is the difference between the two languages. A more fulsome answer is that I'm originally from New Orleans as is my entire family on both sides. I have some creole ancestry and every once in a while I find myself in the company of someone who speaks creole. I've been learning french in part because I'm from N.O. So, I am curious to know how the french I'm learning compares with Louisiana creole. I wanted to know if it's mainly just an accent or if it's slang words/improper grammar or if it's as different from standard french as Jamaican patois is from standard English. I feel like my use of the term "broken english" inadvertently engendered defensive responses.

It was never extinct but the real born and raised daily speakers are all very old. Some younger people who spend time with their grandparents understand it well and a few speak it well. My great-grandfather spoke Louisiana creole and did not learn English until he was older age 7 or 8 in school. That will never happen again to another generation. My family now only speaks English. In Louisiana they are now trying very hard to reverse course by inviting french teachers from around the world to come and teach but they teach standard french. Immersion french is now available in certain public schools. Basically what I mean is that if you go in the bayou areas and travel around then you may hear Louisiana creole but it is still getting more and more rare. Its still sadly endangered because not enough young people speak it and not enough people use it in their daily life. Then people that do speak it marry English only speakers.

Quebec French speaker myself. The Louisiana Creole is surprisingly easy to understand orally (the written form takes more effort because while it is phonetic, it diverges more from written French). What fascinates me is his accent because he sounds someone who learned French abroad but has lived in Canada for years. I can hear how his creole has closer ties to my own French dialect than say Haitian Creole (which is harder to follow). All three French dialects were easy to follow as was the conversation in general.

The Louisiana Creole is part of the "Créole Francisée" family. that's why many French native speakers can understand it better than Haitian Creole which has more linguistic variety. Haitian Creole is constantly evolving and adopting new words, and it's pronunciation is more distinct than other French Creole such as Gualoupean or Martiniquan Creole.

@ChristopheLandryPhD

It's not "francisé." It's been spoken this way for over 200 years now, but evolving (not towards French though) like all languages. All Creoles/languages are distinct, unique, beautiful, and valuable.

@misslabellekitty1298

3 жыл бұрын

@@ChristopheLandryPhD what I mean by francisé is that it's grammar and even pronunciation is much closer to French - that's why there's the use of written sounds like é or eu; both shouldn't exist in Haitian Creole (with the exception of folks who grew up in the capital, and that has to do with the prevalence of French as an administrative language) but they do in other French-based creoles in the Caribbean and elsewhere. It's one of the remarkable details to notice differences between all the phonetic components of each French-based creoles. In Haiti (to my knowledge) we call this phenomenon francisé.

Miss LaBelleKitty You're prescribing what you think should or should not exist as linguistic phenomena, and if you know linguists who say such things they are very much fringe because prescriptivism is everything that linguistics (discipline) is expressly not. But I think by "francisé" you mean "francisant," which *is* in academic literature, but depicts a phenomenon different from what you say here. The *theory* is that *one dialect* of KV (actually mine) underwent a process in the 19th and 20th centuries whereby it borrowed things from LF. It's just a theory and not a good one because LF waned at same time as KV, so there was no point when LF rose in prominence (not even today) and would usurp KV. Francisé implies taken over by French or which uses French superstrate and substrate forms, which no literature says about KV, because that phenomenon doesn't exist. Hope that helps.

I like these challenges. Loved it. Merci.

I am Haitian American and I speak Creole fluently, but my French is very limited. I understood him perfectly.

Really nice to see the understanding flowing with no hardship between all of them

This was so interesting to watch! I'm an american and I've been learning french for 5 years so im FAR from fluent, but i was able to follow a fair amount of both. Its so interesting how apparent the cutlural and linguistic influences from spanish (and obvi french) are. And how the spellings are so phonetic! And with the circonflexes hinting at the french roots! So cool

These videos are super interesting to watch! Would be cool to see a video with people from Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Faroe Islands try to understand each other.

Just tuning in for a quick second before work but (as a french speaker) I find this Kouri Vini dialect of creole much easier to understand than haitian creole. Can't wait to watch the full clip later on.

That depends on the region of Texas though lol 😂 if you have people from the north , norteños then their “Spanglish” is entirely different from those living outside for example The Valley area (Laredo McAllen zapata etc..) those Mexicans with central Mexican west or southern ancestry / heritage will not have the same dialect / accent as others so it’s a pretty complex thing. You also have to differentiate between people who are simply code switching from one language to another in which case is not the same as a “creole” and people who simply butcher both languages because they grow up not being able to be competently bilingual for example. I would argue authentic Tex mex is that dialect which norteños can easily use and understand ... it should be called Norteño Tex lol or Texeño 😂 using works like pori (party ) the colors in English , some days of the week in English and clothing sizes are expressed in English (all in a Spanish transformation ) tiusdei, fraidei etc.. braun (brown) lol “ay no que” = I know that but literally means “You know how ..” when you are trying to explain something “Sobrecama” instead of “Enredon” ( even Mexicans from like Nuevo Laredo and near the border don’t use certain words ) like armario = clóset abanico for ceiling fan instead of ventilador ... friguey, sink, instead of avabo (sometimes) I honestly don’t think other Hispanic Texans outside this region would understand lol . Laredo / zapata / el cenizo / rio bravo and I guess even McAllen (never been there ) have their own dialect even in English lol “Hey do you have a liga ? “ ;)
