@@leretour23 I can sort of understand Cajuns. I am an Anglophone who learned a lot of my French in Quebec. I also am somewhat familiar with joual, some types of grammar and ways of speaking that not all in Quebec use anymore.
You guys are very confused and the author of this post unfortunately doesn't make it any better. There are 3 Latin based languages spoken materially in Louisiana. There is Louisiana French - inappropriately misnamed "Cajun French" - Louisiana Creole - NOT hailing from any place in Haiti at all. It has being brewing in Louisiana since 1724 which is the reason it does not sound like Haitian Creole. People forget that there are at least 32 former French colonies where a Creole language is spoken. It's not going to sound like Haitian Creole. And the final one being Louisiana Spanish (generally misnamed isleño Spanish) This woman is speaking a mixture of the two former languages I spoke of as is the case with many Louisiana Creoles (Creole is the culture that exists in Louisiana... Cajun is an ethno-racial identity) Many speak this language because the communities that both these languages are in are so closely intertwined and interconnected.. All of the people who speak them share the same culture. I and some of my family speak both of the languages fluently. Just to clear up the confusion

+Clif St. Laurent Thank you very much!and sorry for the confusion with Cajun. Now it's clear for me that there are 3 Latin based languages spoken materially in Louisiana: 1-Louisiana French 2-Louisiana Creole and 3- Louisiana Spanish . I'll never forget not to call Cajun French to the Louisiana French. Thank you again!!!!!
i see a lot of talk as to whether or not this is "cajun" french or créole. The language being spoken in the video IS Louisiana Creole. Occasionally a French expression is used but this is creole de la louisianne, and it is NoT haitian creole as Clifford stated previously. Perhaps what is confusing is that the subtitles are written using French orthography and not modern Louisiana creole orthography. But the words being spoken çé pur kréyòl !

Cajun French ≠ Kréyol Lalwizyan. If they’re speaking Kréyol Lalwizyan they’re speaking just that. If they are speaking French they are speaking Louisiana French. Now if you’re implying that Cajuns are also Creoles, trying to understand your title, then yes they too are considered Creoles especially if they are families from colonial Louisiana. The Cajun identity that we know today didnt ramp up until the late 19th to early/mid 20th centuries. Did those communities of people who now wholly identify as Cajun also speak Louisiana Creole too? Yes, some of them did but don’t conflate the two.
Bravo, vous parlez assez bien français! I know it's not easy to learn French for americans or british people, It is way more complexe than English but don't give up! You'll always get better!
She grew up speak the language! Don't you know anything about the history of Louisiana? It's Louisiana French. And French is not that difficult. French speakers speak English with the worst accent in the world.American is not a homogeneous country. Spanish is the second most spoken language in America.

as a french Canadian from Quebec this makes me so happy that french is still spoken there ☺ I completely understand when she talks
You gotta be Acadian because I didn't understand a thing and I am also from Quebec.
As a french I can understand it all
Cest une creole a base francaise ... so tu dois sûrement comprendre les haitiens de montreal alors

+Jorge Artajo Muruzabal awesome! Glad I could help! 👍 You have valuable information. Don't let the Cajunists tell you any different! 😂😂
Clif St. Laurent Cajunists?
We lost the lingo in my family back in 1920 when great grandpa fell in the lead mine.
I wish my grandmother could have taught Cajun French! I wish she was still her so she could teach me!
Thats so interesting....wonder if more people are documenting this culture before it dies out.
Is there a web site that has documented cajun french speakers? Can you point me in that direction? thanks
Beautiful Creole family. That's definitely Creole French!
"des zozos'" Ma mêre, une Sivret-Cormier, qui vivait au Nouveau Brunswick, le disait aussi comme ça! ♥

You are absolutely correct, it is not written with Louisiana Creole Orthography. I am Haitian and I approve of your comment! 😊👌🏾
The old lady's French sounds pretty good to me. Sounds like French Canadian.
Oh tellement adorable cet accent, ça ressemble un peu au québecois je trouve.
aww. that old lady is cute
Oh je ne serai pas perdu... ça ressemble beaucoup au créole Guyanais. Mo té gain... .
Merci that thought me more about Louisiana
Ny mother spoke a little french creole. But yes lost it in the 1930-40s
Oh, well this makes it so much easier.
le creole cajun et louisianais est quasi identique au creole de la guyane
C'est intéressant ça

Most cajuns and many creoles were known to desert from the confederate army, and kill recruiters
Oui, très interresantes. La Créole est très differente que la Français cajun. "couri" - venire et "gain"- avoir.

Ya. But ya can't put Cajun and Creole together. Maybe a few people associate us but there are key differences
is it frech or is it a French based Creole
thegigadykid1 French based Creole
thegigadykid1 It's both mixed, that's how people talk
Song name please? Nom de la chanson à la fin?

J'ai l'impression que t'as pas compris, ils essayent pas de parler Français, ils parlent leur langue, qui est du français cajun
Im cajun and you not stop t'sha
how does this differ from French?
It is very similar but it has its own words and dialect.

ça ressemble énormément au créole réunionnais c'est fous .

She knows better .. Cajun lady speaking like a black Creole speaker.. Similar to white people speaking black English.. .
Shut the fuck up it's french it's white. Blacks are African not french therefore they are copying whites not the other way around. Ridiculous
