I gather it's a mutated version, not just the accent. but I am not sure. Might be like someone from spain trying to speak spanish with someone from east Los Angeles?... I wish I spoke french, beyond my lil phrases. My mother's father was french, and he was bilingual as was all of his family in his time and before. it ended with my mother as he left when she was quite young. they were very serious about being French, but also about being American... maybe that's why I relate to people who want to speak both Spanish and English and embrace both. Some of my mother's people ended up in New Orleans, but they were not cajun. They were Huegonauts in France who ran to England and then onto here, rather than the French who went to Canada and then down to Louisiana when they were unwelcomed in Canada. They owned an island in the river between Illinois and Kentucky, so when the civil war came, they could go either way... sad to say they chose the south. legacies to live with. but how can anyone not love Louisiana? the music and diversity and vitality. and the voodoo. (yes, I got a thing for that)
