Sounds like the folks from here in Nova Scotia

Wow, I really wish you had made more videos! I feel sad that you didn't but I really loved this one. They seem like such nice people. Thanks for sharing.

Gambit That’s why I’m here

BORN AND RAISED- WEEKS ISLAND- IBERIA PARISH

My mom is from Fort Kent Maine and my Dad was from Trois Rivieres Quebec. Both of my parents speak french and I was raised speaking french and english. This is the kind of Acadian french that I grew up speaking. I'm still fluent in speaking french, although I've mostly lost the ability to write it but I can still read french quite well....lack of practice and exposure, I reckon. I could converse with Cajuns as if they were my Acadian relatives from up north...It's the same. Parisian French is a little more difficult for me to converse in because we have different euphemisms. The conversation has to slow way down for us to understand each other. I love it!

But they have the aspirated after the consonants which native English speakers find hard to remove when speaking French. Do they really speak French to each other?

Parfaitement audible. J'apprends qu'il y a aussi un Cotignac en Louisiane ?

Un ptit chien qui est bien soigné 😊

Cajun Acadia oui

En tant que français je suis ému d'entendre mes cousins cajuns parler français 😌🥲

This made me miss my Cajun grandparents so much. They were so much like this. I rarely speak French anymore, but I have taught my children a bit….

really sucks that the past 4 yes 4 (gen alpha now yk) didnt learn hardly any of this really sucks to see languages become endangered. but ill learn it and start speaking it at home it just sucks that most people my age and younger have dont seem to care im gen z also these people are so wholesome they remind me of my great mawmaw pawpaw except that there from the northern side of the state and dont speak a word of french

Definitely ❤

I only come here to hear my ancestors in the way they talk. ... Im just a coonass finding his way!

Défendez votre langue

quel accent émouvant et quelle joie ce couple! Merci !

J'espere que la langue survivra en Louisiane pour toujours!

Keep this alive! ❤

As a Cajun myself, I want to learn French and copy the Cajun accent and dialect for the sake of tradition.

“I think so” 😂

Some words sound like they’re speaking Quebec French.

Why was Katy scared of her dad? :(

A real pleasure to hear this people talking French Cajun ,it is a great way to preserve the French roots of American people!! I love Lousiana andscapeses

My mawmaw was from Eunice and moved to Lake charles in her 20s back in the day. Growing up cajun French was spoken everyday and was normal for us to hear. Living outside of LA I realize it wasn't. I sure hope they keep it Alive. She'll be 92 this year and because most of her friends and family that spoke it has died. She tends to forget words. As she no longer has to speak it as her 1st language

Reminds me of the French in Nova Scotia

I want to learn french ,because alot of my heritage is french so is my last name french from France seems harder than cajun french and since I'm American would cajun french or creole be more useful than french from France, any opinions at my height in spanish I could read atleast 2000 known words semi comfortably and a bit more I could guess on either it being from layin roots or context ,that should help with french vocabulary a little,a problem with french is pronunciation and the fact almost all the words have silent letters and in France they seem to talk faster than Cajuns do cajun french is spoken closer to English speed it seems like ,they may have to speak slower because the English words in there would slow down the rhythm of a romance language that's my guess anyway

Came here to hear cajun accents, stayed because these two are precious gems

Wow, tout mon amour, quel joli couple. Love from Canada

Yea, me and the lady have the same birthday. Just not the same year, 73 years to be exact

I am learning Français and Cajun is much easier to understand. They seem to enunciate much clearer than people from France

God bless them- it's wonderful to find out about people like them. A generation disappearing

What a lovely video.

Reminds me of my aunts and uncles in Quebec.

cajun should be the national language of the usa

Un vrai plaisir d’entendre ces deux vieilles personnes.

I love Pearl & Isaac, so much. They make me miss my Mawmaw & Pawpaw Trahan so much❤

this tugs at my heart strings. thoughts of my childhood living up and down 90 from Lafayette to Houma. I hope and pray that the use of French "Cadienne" grows. . . not just is preserved but rather GROWS.

They are so sweet. I find there french easy to understand and lovely to listen to.

My birthday is May 25 1965

This couple is adorable 🥰

As someone who is an Acadian from the Maritimes in Canada it's incredible how much they sound just like my grandparents speaking French, but when they speak English they have a Louisiana accent and my grandparents have Canadian accents!

me and him have the same birthday

Je suis canadienne francaise du nord de l'Ontario. Nous aussi, l'anglais a influencer notre langue mais j'en suis quand meme tres fiere. Le francais vit toujours.

Love listening to them speaking French

This both melts and hurts my heart. Mon grand-père c'est from New Iberia and was a native French speaker. He joined the Army in WWII and met my grand-mere overseas. They met, and marries, because of the French language. My dad never learned French, and neither did I. At 30, I now understand we must preserve l'heritage.

they remind me of my mawmaw and papa, my papa died 2012, but my mawmaw died 2020 they used to speak cajun french all the time, my mawmaw grew up only speaking it but was forced to learn english at school, they never taught it properly to me and my siblings before they passed, we know a couple of the basic slang words, but can't speak or understand it fluently they remind me of them and seeing this was apart of the language thing at lsu, it makes me wanna work more to be able to go there after i finish high school to hopefully take up learning the language it's such a shame it's dying, i want to help preserve it and teach it to my kids, even more so now that my mawmaw and papa are gone and my mawmaw was a direct descendant of the original cajuns that came to louisiana

He is lucky, his wife is very pretty for her age

Why did my parent's not teach me....they literly refused.

So cool

My grandma and my dad spoke cajun french, i understand some of it, but i wasnt taught it because for a while it was against the law to speak anything but english, so i was cheated out of my heritage because they were scared to teach me, boy how i missed out. It warms my heart that it is making a come back, but it hurts still that i wasnt allowed to learn it.
