Louisiana Language

This is a video detailing common words/phrases that I personally have as part of my vocabulary. Information on traditions, historical information, french, various other languages that influences the particular type of french dialect that is spoken in Louisiana.

I’m from Lafayette and love how your spreading the Louisiana culture with people around the world. Keep up the good work 🙂

Thanks for posting again! I am fascinated with southern Louisiana culture and have enjoyed your previous videos. It is much better than TV.

[@gerrygallant8653]

Katelyn, I enjoyed your explanation of Cajun words and phrases. I too was raised "Frenglish", in Prince Edward Island. My parents both spoke Acadian as did Meme and Pepe (grandparents in Acadian) I applaud you for learning from your grandmother how to speak the old french and keep the traditions alive for another generation. Its been over 200 years since your ancestors were forced to leave Acadia, but they still use some of the same words today. Keep up the learning and one day you will pass it on.

[@masbeer]

Wonderful video. I'm from Opelousas, and my Grandpa used to get beaten when he was younger if he talked Cajun French. It was considered low-class. Times have certainly changed.

My grandfather and mother grew up in New Orleans and I miss his accent and I hear it in my mom's dialect. Thank you for talking about our heritage, language, and traditions. I think what you are doing is more important than most people realize.

Luv that gorgeous Arcadiana accent!...Greetings from Bribie Island, Australia. My father was from Brittany in France so I can relate with the disappearing French language. English became our first language as a kid but I went back to live in Europe for many years in Sweden & France and now I am trilingual..... I'm very grateful I got my French back.

So so glad you're back....im 59. My family is all in sourhern La in Ville Platte area. My parents spoke French around us kids to keep us from understanding what they were talking about. But now there were Ground all I wish is that I could speak Cajun French. Most of my relatives that live in Louisiana and Ville Platte and Opelousas and Church Point Lafayette, a lot of them do speak French but the older ones are passing now and those of us that are getting their don't know it good enough to teach our kids. Keep teaching us. Find an older person in your neighborhood that will sit on a video and talk French with you for us. Thanks a bunch

[@arlingtonguy54]

I’m from Lafourche Parish, the town of Thibodaux. The Cajun accent changes and thickens as you go from the northern most town of Donaldsonville, then Thibodaux, Raceland, Larose, Cutoff, Golden Meadow and Galliano. The Cajun accent changes from Parish to Parish but I know most of the words she introduced. Merci Cher.

Keep up the great work young lady. You have a wonderful and unique way of speaking very eloquently and with that sweet Cajun accent. Love it.

[@josueinhan8436]

I once met a guy from Lousiana here in Brazil and he had an accent quite typical of the English language. However, to this day, I still find the Lousiana accent the most beautiful of all English. So, please, keep your nice accent, guys. By the way, my congrats for the video

[@EmpressLilith222]

Hey girl...I’m from Lafayette and I love your vids but I get so annoyed by some of these people insulting you and us and being rude ...I never realized how strong my accent was until I moved to upstate NY for a while and when I would come back home to visit I was like “dang! Y’all so Cajun!” Lol I’m back home now....

[@thecancelling2870]

Good for you moving back. I live in Upstate NY. I love the nature here but the state is in the toilet. I have never been to Louisiana. It does appeal to me because it is supposed to be one of the most religious states. I'm Roman Catholic, and I it seems like one of the few areas in the South with a concentration of Catholics. But good for you for moving back.

Continue to learn this heritage from your grandparents you are a part of france and we are proud to see some americans don't forget their french origin. From a french :)

[@GiovanniCapannori]

Love the accent. Don't let your culture/language die. My grandparents didn't teach my parents Italian because it wasn't considered "being American". They both wish they knew the language. Now look, there are language immersion schools all over. I on the other hand worked my butt off and still continue to do so. Now I'm pretty much fluent in Italian at a college level. Oh and I'm self taught. You can do anything you want. Just gotta work. Guaranteed my beautiful Italian language will be spoken at home when I have a kid. Keep your languages alive people!

Thank you for your videos. South Louisiana born and raised here. I share your videos with friends from out of state and they absolutely love it. Much love and respect Katelyn ❤😊

[@nauudb]

Your video made me very happy. I come from a part of France where people are shamed for their accent. I once had a friend whose teacher told him he'd never go anywhere in life with his accent. Now I'm over this BS, after having spent time in Paris, other parts of France and also Québec. So this kind of video showcasing diversity and pride in the way you speak is just GREAT! Keep em coming. Thxxxx!

Welcome back Katelyn! =D, this always helps me creatively with characters of my own in my stories, as I enjoy language and learning lots about many different ones. It helps get them right and more rounded in the graphic novels.

H3artKn1ght thank you tons! It makes me really happy to hear that this kind of material can help you write for your characters! I'm a lover of writing myself. I'll have more material for you to watch in the future to hopefully help your characters!

[@H3artKn1ght]

=) I'm sure they will, as all your previous video's have done as well. I love learning different languages and dialects even though i'm not that great at them. But each piece helps in its own way, I've always found them interesting. That and accents too, yours is lovely by the way =D

[@tikkidaddy]

Wonderful to hear the music in your voice but it is heartbreaking to realize that just like every time the Mississippi River spills over more of my heart and culture is being washed away by "urbanization" and those who will demand extreme change in South Louisiana and Creole and Cajun customs as a whole. Because Cajuns are so loving and open we often set ourselves up to be hurt. Few people really realize that this "gumbo" of cultures is the real meaning behind the "melting pot" of America. I subscribed today with a tear in my eye and a prayer in my heart, a hope that all I love in this country will not die. Great video!

Hi from Belgium. For me t goes about the Belgian emigrants in LA. So far in less then a week I found a few hundred. It is also the reason why I subscribed to your channel as language is a communication tool. I really wanted to know the LA dialect. Most family members emigrated to Alexandria starting in 1881. Great job you do and not only about the local dialects. Thank you so much :) You rock, Katelyn :)

[@michaelelwood9976]

Great video, Katelyn! I'm glad that you mentioned the various cultures that contributed to our Creole culture. And when you mentioned the words "fou fou" and "bourge," it reminded of that line from one of Clifton Chenier's songs: "Ca m'appelle fou, fou, fou, mais mon nom c'est Clifton Chenier. . . . je suis juste un petit bougre de la campagne, mais je connais quoi je suis apres faire". :-)

[@TheMaize1230]

Michael Elwood Thanks! The word I said was bouche ( mouth). I think though that what Clifton says in his song is a different word, unless he's saying he's a young mouth from the country side?! haha! He's probably saying boy but using a different word for boy than garçon. But beside all that! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and it reminded you of some things!Thx for watching !

[@DrunkPunkRebellion]

Great work. ^_^

My great grandma is still alive and her grandma was from New Orleans Louisiana who spoke spanish and french who married a German who spoke both Spanish and German. Every now and then when I visit my great grandma if she is mad she will say some french words mixed in with her Spanish lol yea shes old, about to be 101. She said she says it because her grandma used to say it to her. Im only fluent in Spanish and English, from South Texas. But its amazing how some words are in Spanish but totally different meaning! Like "parè"means wall in Spanish. But amazing to see how my great grandma grew up around this with her grandma. Lol will definitely love to use some of these words and see how my great grandma reacts. 🤗

Hello from Paris France. You are doing great! It is very interesting to understand how the évolution of the original french words that became finally cajun and Louisiana terms. I loved the Souris Chauve for a bat; here in France we say a chauve souris (inverting the Chauve adjective. Chauve meaning bald); Carry on you are doing a great job. And if sometimes you visit France, let me know, I would like you to give a conference at the Ile de France chamber of commerce to show people here that french language is still alive worldwide.

Bonjour Katelyn. Je suis tombé presque par hazard sur ta video du 9 avril 2017. Cela m'a fait plaisir de t'entendre expliquer aux anglophones quelques mots de Cajun. Il y a quelques années, je suis allé en vacances à Lafayette (j'ai des amis qui travaillent à Codofil) et j'en ai gardé un excellent souvenir. J'adore votre façon de parler et aussi votre grande hospitalité. Je me suis abonné à ton blog et je t'embrasse bien amicalement. NB: je suis originaire de Belgique, ma langue maternelle est le français et le wallon (dialecte de la région de Liège) et habite Luxembourg depuis plus de 50 ans.

[@EphenRobinson]

Man..it felt so good to my soul to hear you speak, I moved to Mississippi in 2016 (which is where my parents,older sister and whole family are from) my parents and sister came to Louisiana because of my dads job in the oilfield. I was born in Lafeyette in 2003 and lived in the area my whole life until I was 12. Because my parents aren’t Cajun they always had a very Deep South Mississippi/Alabama accent which sounded different from the Cajun natives I grew up around. My friends in school called me "Mississippi" cuz to them I had a rich southern Mississippi accent because of my parents. But when my family decided to move back to Mississippi, people at my school call me "Coonie" cuz to them I sound Cajun 😂 so because I have had influence from both cultures my accent is kind of a mix (which I love). I love Mississippi and the accent here, but man sometimes I really miss the sound of that beautiful Cajun. Merci beaucoup pour la bonne vidéo.❤️

[@benw9949]

@Katelyn -- This is great stuff. Please do keep this up. This not only helps folks keep their heritage, but it also helps those of us, your friends and neighbors, who want to learn more of real Louisiana language and culture, which also helps grow and preserve the heritage. Salut par un voisin en Texas! There are probably lots of people who learned some French in school (but that's Parisian or standard French) but would love to know more about les acadiens et les creoles, Cajuns and Creole folks, and how to speak and read and write how words are different in those dialects than in French from over in France. Also les québecois, the differences between Canadian French and European French. LOL, and yeah, the rooster and the goat, just fine. :D In your earlier video, you talked about people having a smokehouse in their back yards. What the younger kids may not realize is that this was common back in pioneer days all throughout America. Country folks, or some town folks, would have a smokehouse as a necessary part of their farm or ranch or homestead, or somewhere in the community if they were in town, to smoke meat, fish, poultry, sausage, bacon, maybe corn, other things, to preserve them and to add flavor, like you'd mentioned. Over time, many people gave that up when they could get things from the supermarket or grocery store. But country folks tended to keep farms and ranches, and some kept smokehouses and other things from pioneer days, to be self-sufficient as well as for love of home cooking and crafts. (A spring house was originally a shed or building over the head of a spring (water source) so they could keep food and milk and eggs cool, sometimes even cold enough for ice and for ice cream, things like that.) (I know only a little about this. I'm a city-boy, but my grandparents on both sides were originally farmers, so they had things like this. My dad's parents still had their farm when I was little.) That's important for kids to understand these days, so they can revive and carry on heritage and self-sufficiency. (Hah, I would be so clueless on a working farm or ranch, I'd have to learn everything.) :D Have a great weekend over there!

[@sonian.guillory8520]

I'm from Morgan City, La. Deeply rooted in the cajun heritage. My grandparents never officially taught me cajun French due to them being looked down on by the school system. They were punished if they spoke French in school. I knew all the words you took notes on. They are very common words that you pick up from and throw into our English. You're accent is a little different than mine, but as you already know, all areas have their own dialects. While living in southern California, no one could understand me and was actually told my accent sounds "southern fried Brooklyn. lol

I think the Cajun accent is very musical..... très belle! I have lived away from the culture most of my life, but I was around it quite a bit as a child. My dad and his siblings all were fluent in Cajun French, as well as my paternal grandparents. Some of the words that I heard very often as a child -- quoi tu fais? comment ça-va? je connais pas ça va bien ça c'est bon ouais bon soir à demain moi, je t'aime, cher cher 'tit garçon Allons!

Bobine here means like a roll of cordage. "Fonfon" would be "foufounes" (butt cheeks) and here its "chauve-souris". Fais dodo is the title of an old song for kids. Racoon is ratton and we have a lot around here. Here in canada its because of women (mothers) that french was carried out from generations to generations - Its fantastic you're keeping that heritage alive today.

Dear Katelyn. what a great moment again. As I m studying french dialects it is always interesting to hear your pronunciation of french words and the meanings. Sometimes you're using words that have a different meaning in classical french. May I suggest you to work on a book? This project could be supported by French government which is promoting francophonie and french dialects. I may understood that you're learning french ? is that right? Great idea.

I'm a Cajun Creole who was born and raised in California, but watching these videos does make me "homesick" because I grew up hearing these words/phrases (and that unique accent) from family, especially when visiting those still in Louisiana. My family are "mixed race" Creoles from Opelousas with French, Acadian, Dominican Creole, Native American, South American, African, Welsh, British, Jewish and Dutch ancestry, so I appreciate you pointing out how diverse our shared heritage is, as many tend to think of Louisiana culture as exclusively "Cajun".

My Grandmother was from south Mississippi (Purvis) I hear a lot of things she said when I listen to you. "Okree" bein one of um. Grandmother loved cayenne pepper and sassafras. I understand that sassafras is now illegal (somebody PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong!) . There's a heavy Choctaw heritage in her mother's side of the family, so she got a lot of that influence as well. I love Gumbo and I love to make it !! I love your videos! Keep up the good work! 👍

You have a beautiful accent. It's rarely heard in Canada. Although French is spoken here I find it interesting to hear how it's used in Louisiana. All the best from Niagara Falls, Ontario to you
