That is very cool.

When I attended LSU, I took a course in Cajun history and there was a
visiting professor presiding. He was from France and was at LSU to
learn "country" French. Apparently, there are only two places in the
world where original French, not Parisian French, is spoken - the
Cajun country of Louisiana and Nova Scotia. He was studying the
differences and dialects (apparently there are five - can't remember
them all).

Interesting huh?


That does seem odd, Tom, because French is spoken all over the world
with different dialectics. Like French Guiana and Paraguay in South
America and as you well know, with various blends in SE Asia.

I wondr how much "country french" he was looking for?



Maybe he was looking for Country Joe and the Fish?
