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?

It is. I thought it was because the Acadians were from a particular part of
France. (different dialec than Quebec)
Read a few years ago that the French president at the time was quite
interested because he was also from the same area. (maybe Jacques Chirac)
