I haven't heard this in "tawnkiiyazh". It tugged at my heart. I wish I could speak it. My grandpa left it with him and passed on. I got from this conversation they were talking about food and celebration. Le bullet, le zaff, le tea and cake, pigs and square dancing. Love it thank you
Love it. My grandparents spoke this language but society made them ashamed to use it and they did not pass it on to their children, such a loss. My family spoke this language since Red River, I would love to learn it but I am so terrible with learning languages
@SaimDI I agree, but it's much easier if there are people around you who know the language so you learn how to say things the right way. My grandparents passed away when I was very young and out of shame in their language they did not pass it down to thier children. But I do agree putting work in does help.I studied Spanish and Cree at university, but I went to Guatemala for a month and therefore can speak more spanish than cree, because I used it with native speakers.
@SkinnyWmn69 Yeah, it's a shame there are not so many native-speakers around. But I think you can do it. Good luck with your Cree, Spanish and whichever linguistic adventures you embark on :)
not many people speak this language anymore,it was popular at one time but hardly anyone knows how,it is a lost language unless people do something to bring it back
i understood something about grandpa farming pigs but there should be an interpretation so someone can fully understand the michif language i am a michif from Belcourt North Dakota thank you

I'd love to learn to speak Michif. Unfortunately, I only picked out a few French words, I'm terrible with languages...

Does anyone know what they're talking about? I heard "cochon" "boudin" and "tête" I think, so are they talking about eating pigs?
Very cool

how unique,in Lakota we have adopted a few french words (Bebela) but to incorperate it to this extent and in the use of vowels is interesting.
