  • @norhamdan1985 People were required to speak english in schools. My uncle and my best friend's family still speak it, but not so much the younger generation if you're not in the southernmost parishes. It IS a terrible shame.

  • je suis québécoise de montréal et je la comprend assez bien! on dirait l'accent de ma grand-mère avec un mélange d'accent anglophone! en plus, elle dit déjeuner, dîner, souper! comme nous! ce qui m'étonne c'est que ces français réussissent à la comprendre ou du moins, ont l'air de la comprendre! D'habitude, ils ont même de la difficulté à comprendre les québécoise! vive la francophonie en Amérique du nord hahaha! :D

  • @jceepf Déjeuner, diner, souper... c'était universel jusqu’avant 1970. Mais l'élite parisienne a commencé à souper très tard et tout s'est décalé. Et grâce aux média, tout les Français se sont mis à parler comme l'élite.

  • @Krummablod On dit déjeuner, dîner, souper car c'était universel avant Louis XIV.

    Par contre nous disons soixante-dix etc... comme les français car notre dialecte est du nord de la France à l'origine: normandie, picardie etc.... Par example on dit asteur comme astour en gallo du nord-ouest de la France. (asteur=a cette heure=maintenant)

  • @Untefelehrr I'm from Lafourche Parish but my parents moved me away when I was still a minor. I love learning about my Cajun French haritage and I teach my children french phrases that my pawpaw (grandfather) taught all us grandkids. I miss my hometown and try to visit as often as I can so my children will have memories of it! You right about it dying, many younger generations are moving away and it's not what it once was! Very sad to see!

  • @bobcrawman34 So basically it'd be like speaking english the way it was spoken in shakespeare's time? interesting.

  • Please Continue to keep Lafayette truly Cajun !!!! Remove the corporate barbie plastic stripmalls from Lafayette and Resurrect The Gorgeous Freedom of the Land that truly made the Cajun's strong and full of Life !!! Laissez Le Bon Temps Rouler !!!

  • @tija1012 so get up and learn it man! Realize you could even practice with her. Learning lenguages is not that hard pple, go on :)

  • @mpg895 vive la francophonie, et vive les congres mondiaux de la francophonie :)

  • You, people from south louisiana, you have to save your culture, your bases, it's is a too marvellous heritage to let it die. You cajun are one of the links of brotherhood between france and the us. Get up! :)

  • I used to be able to speak a little acadien French when I was younger, but I no longer can. I can sometimes understand French though.

  • @mpg895 Vous dites déjeuner, dîner, souper ? Je suis Suisse et on le dit aussi mais je pensais qu'en France c'était pareil 0_o Vous dites aussi septante, huitante, nonante au Québec ?
