slickboxingidentityveritas1932 Nah, we can get English speakers in Acadiana to pick up some Cajun customs, like the cuisine, Mardi Gras, and crawfish boils. I’m the north, it’s hopelessly uncultured, but there’s a chance I’m the Cajun heartland.

Came here to hear cajun accents, stayed because these two are precious gems

This made me miss my Cajun grandparents so much. They were so much like this. I rarely speak French anymore, but I have taught my children a bit….

As someone who is an Acadian from the Maritimes in Canada it's incredible how much they sound just like my grandparents speaking French, but when they speak English they have a Louisiana accent and my grandparents have Canadian accents!

C'est incroyable quand même de voir que le français puisse ''survivre'' là-bas depuis longtemps!! Ça fait tellement du bien d'entendre le français et l'anglais ensemble,mélangés!!

I just learned yesterday that we used Cajuns in WWII, in Operation French Underground, because the Germans couldn't tell the difference between Cajun French and the French spoken in rural France. They could easily identify Belgian Canadian French speakers, which is what made Cajuns so valuable for covert communications between allied forces (a lot like the Native Americans who acted as "Windtalkers" for communications in Japan at the time).

This is the kind of Acadian french that I grew up speaking. I'm still fluent in speaking french, although I've mostly lost the ability to write it but I can still read french quite well....lack of practice and exposure, I reckon. I could converse with Cajuns as if they were my Acadian relatives from up north...It's the same. Parisian French is a little more difficult for me to converse in because we have different euphemisms. The conversation has to slow way down for us to understand each other. I love it!

Cajun French should be expected since Louisiana was a French colony. :P Sadly, though, it's about to die out. There's also a place in Texas where locals speak Czech and another place in Texas where the old folks speak what's called Texas German. They're also working on dying out. As it turns out, English is what you're expected to speak here so other languages are going by the wayside. It's a bit of a shame since things like Pennsylvania Dutch or Cajun French are just as much American as American English is.

​@@h3lblad3 If you check out max Kade institute's american german dialects page and archive, theres a crap ton more than just Pennsylvania Dutch and Texas German... Tbh it's not exactly exact to just say Pennsylvania Dutch because there are multiple dialects that got thrown into the whole umbrella term.To speak another language is to be "more american" than the average anglophone despite what they'd like to think. A little over 100 years, the US was a powerhouse of this french, german and the german dialects, norwegian, swiss-german, swedish, and others. Not even 200 years ago (4 generations?), Irish was heard regularly in NYC just as Italian and everything else. Even spanish has been here since before the creation of the Constitution.

Morgan Carroll there’s limited information on them all so what’s there isn’t even all of it at all. I mean for example that lady in who they have as non-Amish sounds like just a Schwäbisch speaker even though they say she has lines from the Pfalz area of Germany. Stinkkotz/Stinkkatze is thought to be in only Texas but it’s also in Wisconsin (stinkchaatze) Indiana, and probably other states. There’s limited info that is unbiased but what you can find on KZread and other places without having archival access to informations out there. Keep in mind that many people aren’t fully aware of the complexity of Germany and the dialects that were and are still spoken in the US and in Germany. One simple way to understand things that you won’t find on general websites is that North American German just like North American french in Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Indiana, etc is older. Many forms are not used in Germany anymore so it’s not exactly wrong german or French. It’s merely older. Sure sometimes the hard r pronunciation from English permeates but in enclaves where these languages survived the discriminations of the 20th Century, they sound relatively unchanged while other older words survive.

Brandon, I’m not sure where you live, but I can’t tell you that Cajun French is actively being taught at LSU and UL Lafayette. The reason some many people under 60 don’t speak it is because our grandparents were forbidden to speak it in school and were taught that it meant you were of lower status (bs!) So they didn’t teach their children. It’s really atrocious that the language is dying out, but there has been a movement in the past 20 years to try and preserve it. It really is striking how similar it is to a Canadian French.
