I had awoken this morning from a dream of visiting with relatives in South Louisiana, cause I am from North Louisiana. My genes to eastward toward Alabama, alas, I have no blood relatives in the south of louisiana but I hope to see these "Dream Relatives " again.
@patremb.... I'm not from Louisiana but apparently in the southern parishes of LA there is still quite a number of French speakers. Just from what i've gathered from the internet, Lafayette is the "Capital" of the cajun culture and the cajun dialect of French.
I'm from Quebec. Nice accent, if I listen carefully I can understand pretty well. Anyone knows if there's still acadians (cajun) that still speak like that in louisiana?
@patremb - Yes, but not many. They actually have French immersion programs in the state to to revive the language. Also, some local groups have them too.
Ouais, y a plus que 250,000 du monde qui parle français icitte dans la Louisiane...et y a toujours des jeunes comme moi qui parle la langue avec leurs grand-parents et à l'école. Visitez mon autre page, CadjinGisclair, pour voir plus des bonnes vidéos du dialecte français louisianais!
@CadjinGisclair I agree with you on that, but I understand since it's very difficult for a non native to pronounce the R exactly like them, it also happens with the "u" of words like salut, they have a different sound
The woman replied "we" for yes when in fact coonasses pronounce it "weh" rhyming with "wet". We, rhyming with "pea" is the way France French people say it.
@shanegalang2 "Weh" rhyming with "wet" is very very often used in France French as a familiar way to say "Oui" ("We/pea"); I wonder if it's not even more often used nowadays.
Et aussi, ça semble bien au français des Antilles. Les similarités sont partagés entre tous les dialectes franco-américains. Le français louisianais est un mélange de beaucoup de variétés non-standard de la langue française parlé à l'époque coloniale.

I am from Québec and saw acadiens on french language tv and they had to put subtitles. Quebecois French is very different than European but it's still the same. Acadien is almost a different language
@R3dTigerM40A3 man tu sais même pas écrire en français. Ce que j'ai vu sur Canal D était une entrevue avec plusieurs acadiens de cap breton. Ça mon gars, ce n'est pas exactement pareil au québécois. Apart de ça, tu me dis qu'ils ont complètement changé leur accent pour faire ce film?
@R3dTigerM40A3 ah oui c'est vrai au NB c'est pas mal pareil, j'ai connu bien des gens de là à Montréal. méme à Saint Boniface, Manitoba leur accent est l'accent «canadien français». Je vie maintenant au Texas et je vais souvent à la Nouvelle Orleans, et en passant je traverse des petites villes où tous les vieux parlent «français» mais c'est cajun (acadien).
@YukiNekoPrincess The accent is more similar than to France... some of the expressions are different. somehow a bit slower, with more of a 'southern' drawl (obviously)...
C'est vrai que par moment, ça fait penser au picard (accent et mots : asteur, nouz'aut...). Comprenant partiellement le picard, je me demande si ça n'aide pas un peu pour comprendre le Cajun, vu que j'ai pas trop de mal à le comprendre...
i bet that everybody with the same last name is related b/c if you track the name far enough it ends with one family . the family just splits from long distance an all
Certainly not the case with location or occupation based last name - for example, my last name Woodman was generically given to every single peasant carpenter in England from 1066 onwards. Also look at Polish last names, which are nearly always based on location rather than lineage ("Kowalski" = "from Kowal", "Merzhevsky" = "from Merzhev", etc).
A lot of times, that's the case. I know it is with my last name, because as far as anyone knows, there was only Gisclair (back in the 1700s, the name was spelled Gisclard) who immigrated to Louisiana...And he didn't really immigrated, but was a soldier in the Compagnies Franches de la Marine (French marines).
Have you ever noticed that almost al Acadian people does not pronounce or roll the letter R when they speak?I Heard by an old Acadian from the basse cote nord ,Qc that it's was an abnegation to the king and queen (Roi et Reine in French) but I cant find proof of it!!
I'm from Gaspésie in Québec, from an Acadian background, and this sounds very much like the way we speak at home despite a few discrepancies. I've always wanted to go to Louisiana
@DameianBoudreaux : OK, I have that accent and was told by some people from France that there are still areas in that Country who have this particular accent...but in perfect French of course.
The older Acadians still talk like what I just heard...AND IT'S HOME TO ME!
@gastonave No its pretty clear, if you take a second. Its like talking to a Southern farmer from deepest Mississppi in English. For the first five minutes all one hears is mumbling and then the ears adjust.
"Oooh, ça c'est beau ! Justement ça j'avais d'besoin !" Mon Dieu, j'aime tellement la manière dont les acteurs prononcent les mots ! Ca ressemble quelque fois à l'accent québécois je trouve.. Et je trouve ça trop drôle d'entendre des "r" roulés, c'est vraiment très joli à entendre ! Un jour, j'irai en Louisiane et je rencontrerai des gens qui m'apprendront à parler comme ça !!
@WendyKroy77 Why everyone acts like British english and American english are different languages? Because they are... But it's english though. Same for French in the world, the language evolved differently, but it's still French
@tonysanthedarkstar british english and american english ARE the same language - namely english; they mainly differ in terms of dialect and pronunciation. So the same is true with Cajun then. Cajun is French, only with a different accent. Sort of like like Swiss German: thick accent but still German.
I was watching the other day this show on the History Channel called Swamp People and I heard one of them go: "comment c'ava? c'ava ben" or something like that. I didn't know about the Cajuns, but I immediately associated the name of the state Louisiana with all the French King Louises and it started to make sense. (I'm not from the U.S., I'm from Chile, so I don't necessary need to know about the Cajuns, so don't call me an ignorant ;) )
Yes, the man on Swamp People, Troy (whom you're referring to) speaks French and spoke French from birth. Like many people down here such as my grandparents (check out some videos of them being interviewed on my page), Troy had to learn English. Most of their generation's parents died without ever learning English. In my town, you can hear French spoken daily in the local grocery stores. I'm 25, and there are even some my age who speak the language! (Oui, je parle français aussi)
it was those fuckin yankees, they wouldnt let my grandpa speek french at school and would wash his mouth out with soup if he did, he never spoke it agian and now none of his descendents know it except my dad and he only knows cus he learned in paris.
Les acteurs dans ce video sont des anglophone et ne pas des francophoness, ils ne parlent pas le cajuns, un vrai cajun n'appelerait jamais une carabine(rifle) une pompe(shotgun).
L'accent cajun et l'accent acadiens du Nouveau Brunswick sont idéntique, je trouve......
Je suis français, je vis aux US et je peux te dire my friend, que ce ne sont pas des anglophones. Car s'ils l'avaient été, leur prononciation aurait été bien différente. There are a lot of french words that english speakers cannot pronounce, or when they try on voit direct que ce ne sont pas des francophones
Umm, ouais, eusse est des anglophones, bien sûr, et des francophones. Eusse est BILINGUE. Eusse parle plus lentement dans ce video parce que c'est un film, est eusse est après suivre un script. Et, c'est pas "le cajun" qu'on parle icitte en Louisiane. C'est pas un autre langage. On parle FRANÇAIS! Oublie pas ça, mon ami. ;) Oui, c'est différent (c'est le dialecte louisianais), mais TOUT le monde francophone parle différent!
@CadjinGisclair t'es pas plus cajun que moe, mon pitte, alors arrette de faire le guignole, regarde bien la carabine-par ou elle est charge-oui par un chargeur à six cartouches par le dessous puis on doit faire une repetion après chaque coups tiré-voila une carabine à répetition pour tirer les chevreuils les orignaux ou l'ours brun--même chose j'utilisais aussi en biathlon-j'oublit pas de neige en en Lousiane-
Toi, t'es canadien, t'es pas louisianais. Mais ouais, le vrai mot pour ce fusil-là, c'est une carabine, mais y a toujours du monde qui dit "une pompe" pour un pump action rifle.
Et OUI, le fusil dans ce vidéo-là est vraiment une pompe, c'est un "pump action rifle" en anglais. T'as jamais entendu parler de ça? T'es p'us dans la France, bougre. Bienvenue dans la Louisiane! haha On parle pas comme vous-autres et on est joliment fier de cette vérité! =D
@CadjinGisclair petit crisse de marde, une pompe ou une douze est avec du plomb pour la chasse au petit gibier, les bernaches ou les outardes,
-une carabine ca se charge avec un truc à répetition dessous la detente ou en haut près du canon, ca dans ce video n'est pas une pumb action même pas au Louisiane--j'ai fai la chasse avec des acadiens et des quebecois au Québec et au Nouveau Brunswick(4 cerfs de viriginie, outardes, perdrix etc.)--salut à Zachary Richard, on l'aime bien au Québec
Actually this is French, the grammar is the same, some worlds are different and the accent is different than other French nations speakers. So in other worlds, if you learn French in Africa, Quebec or elsewhere it doesn't matter because you will pick up 95% the rest you will figure it out!
Je voudrais apprendre le francais de lousiane, pas le francais de la france ou du quebec, mais il n'y a pas beacoup des gens qui continuent de le parler. Je viens de californie ou l'espagnol est fort, je voudrais voir la meme chose pour les louisianais... C'est la langue de l'etat! SI t'es une francophone de louisiane envoyez-moi un message! A bientot.
Et desole pour mes erreurs, je suis encore un bebe en francais!
@tonysanthedarkstar Ouais comme si on ne pouvait pas faire quelques erreurs de temps en temps! Ça me fait rire ces gens qui te corrigent quand tu fais une fautes! Sale zèlé!
@bolducgod toé,soi tu n'est pas francophone, soi tu n'as jamais fait ton sécondaire 5, moi comme allophone je peut me permetre des fautes/ ou une faute
.....les gens qui ne parlent pas cette langue....ou avoir le language de limoilou, en tout cas c'est ca que je detéct chez toi
So I've heard people speak "Cajun" with complete English, but now I'm noticing people throw in some French here and there. And even in English, you can here the french influence, but what's the dif between Cajun with some French and Cajun English?
@Cre8iveN8ive where I'm from we mainly speak our own Cajun-English with some French words thrown in every now and then. A majority of the French is getting lost, but I think the important French words will never be lost. If you've heard people speak 'Cajun' with complete English, it wasn't Cajun.
eh les gars, quand je dit "heureusement d'ailleurs", c'est de l'humour :-) Au contraire, je suis fier que notre langue résiste dans ce monde anglophonisé
@samlendemain Typiquement Francais de France: Insolent et imbus d'eux-même...Ne vous étonnez pas que durant la 2eGM, la plupart des Canadien-Francais se fouttaient comme de l'an 40 (!!) du sors de la France...De la part d'un Acadien.
This is awesome!! Our European-American heritage should be protected and encouraged, whether it is English, German, French, Irish, Spanish, Swedish, etc..
I'm sure if these people were Africans, Asians, or so-called 'Hispanics' the US government would be sending billions of dollars to protect their language and heritage.
But because they're White, and Europeans in America, they get little attention.
cry me a fuckin river. Most Africans, Asians and So called "Hispanics" are speakers of the above languages that you claim are Euro-American. Please don't mask your racist intentions by pretending you care about the linguistic heritage of a people you probably know nothing about, Aboriginal languages around the world are going extinct thanks to the invasive colonial tendencies of French, Portuguese, English, Spanish, Mandarin and others. Also there are many Black Cajuns btw
i'm sorry, maybe you should brush up on your reading comprehension skills, don't say I failed to address the point when you are too simple to understand mine.
BTW- English only laws in many states prohibit non English use in public schools across the board wether it be Dutch or Spanish. so please get your facts str8
Yeah, its pretty clear at 1:29 when the kid says "oh drop dead bull" because you know he's talking about the star of that new movie where that bull dropped dead and then as a ghost gave advice, I think the kid was telling the old man that he knew all about gun safety because Drop Dead Bull stopped by his school earlier in the week and gave a demonstration of gun dangers, hazards and how chicks dig a guy with a gun or two strapped underneath his armpits.
@FunkyMonk84000 I'm pretty sure the Cajuns came from Acadia... Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think a lot of them got down there because they were deported by the British after Nouvelle-France was taken in the 18th century.
@THRILLHOUSE85 As the most American with French blood, they came from Quebec, Acadia, French Canada the most were deported.
I did some research about the ethnicity of American white people. I found that the most white Americans have German blood with 17% of the population followed by Irish Americans with13%.you have also lot of American with Italian blood, with more than 18 million. but less than 3% of American have French origin.
the immigration from France to the US was almost non-existent.
@ForeverTheBeatles1 I wish you were right. But I don't think anyone can deny that most people in Acadiana don't speak French, and that it gets even worse in younger generations. The only way French can be saved as a community language is if a majority of Cajuns in whichever Cajun community attend French immersion schools, which isn't a highly likely scenario.
@ForeverTheBeatles1 well actually it is a dying language... it is unfortunate but once the older generations die off it will be a struggle to keep the culture and language alive because it is NOT taught in schools at all. That is why immersion of the cajun language is SO IMPORTANT in all schools - not just private ones so that this langauge, this culture, and our heritage stays alive and is passed on to the following generations.. FIER d'être Acadien
@feuille2niggle yea it does... they also have Alliance Francais... and I think in some parishes like Lake Charles they have immersion programs in public schools.. its an option for the parent to have their child learn french but at least there is an option... so yea there are organizations out there who are trying to keep the culture and language alive.
@Aleksei5055 je suis d'accord mais mon dieu c'est plus ou moin difficile a comprendre votre accent (et je suis quebecois). Tres interessant quand meme :)
@philbox17 Yes, I know. Acadian French is definitely very similar to the Cajun dialect (although I'm a bit more iffy on Quebecois, even as a non-French-speaker they sound pretty different too me). Perhaps I should have said "in Louisiana"?
Anyway, I don't necessarily think it will die, and I certainly hope it wont. But it's definitely threatened.
@SaimDI It is certainly threatened... we get so much hate from some english canadian for protecting our language. I find a lot of hurtful stuff on youtube...
They don't sound natural, in that they don't speak very fast like most languages. They sound like they're reciting the lines, do they really speak this language at home?
@darfunkelidas A young Cajun boy named Alexander Napolean Ulysses Latour spends his time on a Louisiana bayou. There he plays, fishes and hunts, worrying only about the alligators which infest its waters. The boy's innocent routine changes forever when his father signs a lease agreement with an oil company which brings a derrick into their corner of the bayou. They didn't speak very fast ? Well, director Robert J Floherty didn't use professional actors. I think they did very well.
I'd say y a point plus de d'endroit qu'au Nova Scotia dans une region comme Clare dans la Baie Ste-Marie qui parlions comme ca. Basically, y on la meme root que la louisiane. Actually, j'diriont que c'est la root meme qui faisions qui parlions comme ca en Lousiane.

Les acteurs dans ce video sont des anglophone et ne pas des francophoness, ils ne parlent pas le cajuns, un vrai cajun n'appelerait jamais une carabine(rifle) une pompe(shotgun).
L'accent cajun et l'accent acadiens du Nouveau Brunswick sont idéntique, je trouve......

No such thing as "Cajun French" or even "Creole French". It's called "Louisiana French". It differs by parish and not by what one calls themselves.

So I've heard people speak "Cajun" with complete English, but now I'm noticing people throw in some French here and there. And even in English, you can here the french influence, but what's the dif between Cajun with some French and Cajun English?
Cre8iveN8ive 1 year ago
@Cre8iveN8ive where I'm from we mainly speak our own Cajun-English with some French words thrown in every now and then. A majority of the French is getting lost, but I think the important French words will never be lost. If you've heard people speak 'Cajun' with complete English, it wasn't Cajun.

This is awesome!! Our European-American heritage should be protected and encouraged, whether it is English, German, French, Irish, Spanish, Swedish, etc..
I'm sure if these people were Africans, Asians, or so-called 'Hispanics' the US government would be sending billions of dollars to protect their language and heritage.
But because they're White, and Europeans in America, they get little attention.
How sad. How pathetic. How RACIST !!!

@FunkyMonk84000 I'm pretty sure the Cajuns came from Acadia... Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think a lot of them got down there because they were deported by the British after Nouvelle-France was taken in the 18th century.

@THRILLHOUSE85 As the most American with French blood, they came from Quebec, Acadia, French Canada the most were deported.
I did some research about the ethnicity of American white people. I found that the most white Americans have German blood with 17% of the population followed by Irish Americans with13%.you have also lot of American with Italian blood, with more than 18 million. but less than 3% of American have French origin.
the immigration from France to the US was almost non-existent.

@ForeverTheBeatles1 I wish you were right. But I don't think anyone can deny that most people in Acadiana don't speak French, and that it gets even worse in younger generations. The only way French can be saved as a community language is if a majority of Cajuns in whichever Cajun community attend French immersion schools, which isn't a highly likely scenario.

@ForeverTheBeatles1 well actually it is a dying language... it is unfortunate but once the older generations die off it will be a struggle to keep the culture and language alive because it is NOT taught in schools at all. That is why immersion of the cajun language is SO IMPORTANT in all schools - not just private ones so that this langauge, this culture, and our heritage stays alive and is passed on to the following generations..

@philbox17 Yes, I know. Acadian French is definitely very similar to the Cajun dialect (although I'm a bit more iffy on Quebecois, even as a non-French-speaker they sound pretty different too me). Perhaps I should have said "in Louisiana"?
Anyway, I don't necessarily think it will die, and I certainly hope it wont. But it's definitely threatened.

There he plays, fishes and hunts, worrying only about the alligators which infest its waters. The boy's innocent routine changes forever when his father signs a lease agreement with an oil company which brings a derrick into their corner of the bayou. They didn't speak very fast ? Well, director Robert J Floherty didn't use professional actors. I think they did very well.
