I often wonder what our state's language heritage would look like if Louisiana didn't spend a couple of generations trying to destroy it. We're already a cultural melting pot with a few pockets of various languages spoken, but imagine Louisiana being known on the world stage as the US state where most people are bilingual or multilingual.
I'm from Trinidad and I speak the local French Creole language. Kouri Vini is NOT similar to the language spoken in the Lesser Antilles, but I can understand some of the things they say. I usually understand more when I read the written form of Kouri Vini though.
It's literally the meme of the mother holding the child in the pool while the other drowns. Cajun is taught and loud, promoted as the actual language of Louisiana, the French heritage. The Creole is neglected.
The Lalwïzyàna Kréyòlité language was created on the plantations by enslaved Black people here in Louisiana during French colonial Louisiana (New France). I don't call my ancestral Black-Lalwïzyànan Kréyòwá language no Kouri-Vini language. I hate that name. It's a Black-Lalwïzyànan Kréyòwá language indigenous to Louisiana and created by my Black-Lalwïzyànan ethnic group's ancestors on the plantations here in Louisiana.
What are the etymologies of Lakwïzyàna and Kréyòlité. How is all of the vocabulary mysteriously so similar to French if the language is native to another continent? What is the word for black in your ancestral Black-Lalwïzyànan Kréyòwá language?

I wonder if their Creole is similar to the ones spoken in Martinique and even in some part of Trinidad and Tobago
It has some similarities but it isn’t exactly the same. However, they are mutually intelligible at times.
@@LeDernierCreole OK thank you for your response
They didn’t choose not to teach it. It was banned and they was forced to learn and speak English
Jetaime son ❤
