The same thing has happened in Louisiana. This morning I went to a French table in St. Martinville, La. I love it. Lets me go back to my childhood with grandparents who spoke no English. French language is beautiful!
Correct! It's changed in France now, but that's the original, many parts of France, Switzerland, Belgium still use that, and it's the only thing use in Canada
From that group meeting where they discussed names for the three daily meals, sounds like they based their study on basic "classroom French" and not a specific N. American variety. Swiss French, Belgian French, Acadian French, Québec French and even several regional varieties present in France (Brittany French etc). use the same : déjeuner,dîner, souper. But they were arguying and chose the Parisian dialect words for their study in that clip.
Très intéressant...mais triste aussi de voir notre histoire commune qui s'efface lentement en Amérique du Nord...Very interesting, but indeed sad to watch our common history to vanish slowly...
She is likely from a long-established American family of French/French-Canadian descent. In traditionally French-speaking communities all over the U.S (northern New England, southern Louisiana, pockets of the Midwest), as these families tended to be of more recent immigrant origin, they distinguished themselves, the French or French-Canadians, from the locally-born Americans. Eventually, when these communities became bilingual, the terms "French(-Canadian)" and "American" took on a more linguistic usage: now that the new generations of French speakers were also American citizens, the term "American" was reinterpreted to mean "English-speaking". In some Louisianan francophone communities, "americain" is the only term that exists for the English language, and even terms like "United States" are used to refer to the English-speaking states, as opposed to French-speaking regions of the same country.

Dîner = lunch
Souper = diner/supper

Dejeuner is Lunch, Petit dejeuner is Breakfast
@@luanvoablein France yes, not in America⚜️
C'est très bien, continuez comme cela vous, nos cousins d'Amérique !
The journalist in the studio has a better french pronunciation than the one on site. I am French.
Hope they're promoting Maine French dialect and not using Metropolitan French (from Europe). Otherwise it's just pointless.
What's pointless about it?

Le français y est parlé grâce au Québec et au Nouveau-Brunswick. Pas étonnant que le Maine reste encore francophone.
bravo
Ont-ils du Kérouac à lire au programme ? th-cam.com/video/4Ij8dao3Kaw/w-d-xo.html
J’espère que le français restera présent en Amérique du Nord.
Isn’t it cool and classy to speak French now?
Spanish may be needed soon.
Lol. Have you even been to Maine?
Yes spanish is a growing language
@@thato596Yes due to Illegal Immigrants that's what it is.
Or somali
@@MistaTofMaine I don't think Somali would be needed in Maine, as it's less than 1% of Maine
