“Long ago the French sent their Roma to Louisiana.”

I had a French lady friend in Texas. She was fond of the music of this one Cajun-descended local singer/songwriter.
Once at a concert of his, another Cajun came up to her and started speaking in Cajun French.
She understood him with some difficulty, and it dawned on her that it sounded like a very old dialect of continental French.
