The first settlement site in Acadia (Bar Harbor) dates from 1598. That's the same year Santa Fe was settled. Jamestown comes a decade later, and New York and New England over two decades later. New Sweden is 1638, and so on.
The Cajuns date from 1598 ~ although the formal establishment of the colony had to be restarted in 1628 by Madame Guercherville (there were some bad winters in between, a minor war with an Englishman with a Spanish surname ~ same's as a later Governor of San Francisco mission.
So what is it you think the Cajuns should do? I'm very curious (BTW, I've spent a lot of time studying Spanish, French and Latin, lesser time with Ladino, and a fair amount of time with Old West Gothic. Those are the languages you need to study documents left behind by the original European settlers in America. English and German come a bit later!
Jeesh! Lighten up, Francis! It was a joke!
My first duty station was in Louisiana and I’ve found that Cajuns are some really cool people. You’ve got to admit, what they speak isn’t quite English!
