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!

There are actually SEVERAL French sounding languages that are spoken in Souf' Lawzian. At least two of them are considered Creoles ~ or combinations of two or more languages. One is a blend of Spanish and French, and another is a blend of French and English.

It's that particular Creole that most folks run into.

The French government has provided professional French language instruction in the French speaking areas for people who are interested in that. I don't know how it's turning out.
