      Actually, their dialect is closer to the 16th century French from New Brunswick, Canada. Would make a great thesis.

      Identity is not always about the country in which we're born, it's often more to do with what's born in us.
      The world would be very boring if we were all the same, good on you for knowing who and what you are.

      graham rothwell you do not need to understand the words. I speak some Spanish, but not well enough to understand all the words in my favorite Spanish song. We can feel music.

    My family lost the language 100 years ago, very few in the Ozarks now have it.
