[jazzynote]

why dont someone try to document it so we can preserve it?..COME ON WHY DO WE LOVE EVERY ONE ELSES STUFF and we dont want to preseve our own things

[dedeaux2]

This Creole is very similiar to what is spoken on the coast of Mississippi in Delisle. I can understand quite a bit.

[alto971]

People used to speak patois in the 19th century here. It's called patois by the locals though and not French creole. The latter is the academic term

[NicKingPapiChulo]

@cagelsthrough its all the same créole is one particular patois. patois is just a synonym for dialect

Good to see this. Creole Louisiane was going the same way, but hope it is coming back from just my grandmother's generation. Thank you for the work and for posting this. To lose your language is to lose part of yourself.
