thread_title: Accent

message: Some references would be nice for the vocabulary differences, especially since what is written for the vocabulary (particularly the numbers) seems like it is just written phonetically how non-French speakers perceive these words when spoken e.g "wit" for "huit" is very similar to how "huit" is pronounced in Quebec French (though I've heard it also likened to "wheat" but similar). I'd like the references because it just comes off as being written by an amateur who doesn't speak French and can't make the comparison. If there are references that verify, perhaps it can just be more demonstrative. --99.246.117.217 (talk) 01:37, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Vocabulary Differences

message: Hi, the article states:
Shouldn't it be the other way around? Usually, a consonant (in this case "l") would be added if the word ends in a vowel, so as not to get all diphthongy.

thread_title:  Speaker demographics 

message: The page is informative but the French listed is not Louisiana Creole.  My family is Louisiana Creole and has been in Houston, Texas since the 1920's in what used to be called Frenchtown (now it is called 5th Ward, Texas).  What you have listed is Haitian Creole which is VERY DIFFERENT.  For instance, we use Je for I, not MO.  Also to reference a difference with Parisian French, to ask a persons name you would say: Quel est votre nom?...In Louisiana Creole or Cajun you would say:  "Quoi ce ton nom?".  Another example of the difference in Louisiana Creole would be the use of adverbs... in Parisian French, the word: "très" means "Very" in English.  In Louisiana Creole / Cajun we use "beaucoup". Example: Mon culture c'est beaucoup différent a Haitian Creole. Send me a message if you want to learn more about the culture, language & food.  Dieudonne3573 (talk) 18:46, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm sorry, your family does, in fact, speak Louisiana French, not Louisiana Creole. There's often confusion about this as ethnic backgrounds often leads to blacks saying that they speak Creole and whites saying that they speak French, when in reality there's no strict separation of speakers of either language along ethnic lines.

thread_title:  The Creole Listed is not Louisiana Creole 

message: Creole comes from the Spanish crioll, mean a child born in the colonies.  As it relates to Louisiana it means   the French or Spanish and any mixed French/Spanish inhabitants, according to usage in Memories of the Old Plantation Home by Laura Lacoule Gore (1861-1962.) Laura Lacoule was a plantation heiress who considered herself a creole, as distinct from the Americans.Phmoreno (talk) 18:03, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: It doesn't relate to what the name of the language is as a formal matter. Lots of creole languages are name  Pidgin" (or some variant spelling of "Pidgin") but are not pidgins. The linguistic sense of "creole" is derive from the French and related Spanish and Portuguese words for people of mixed ancestry of particular types, but the linguistic concept has nothing to do with ancestry, just as the metaphoric sense of being a chicken or playing chicken does not involve any actual poultry. :-)  PS: The Spanish word is ; there is no word "crioll" in Spanish, a language that does not end words with -ll.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  02:34, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
