An intense linguistic struggle is unfolding in Louisiana between Cajuns trying to preserve their language on the one hand and the American experience overwhelming it on the other. This study guide provides 21 chapters of practice for anyone who wants to learn or improve his/her Cajun French. This book also includes four short stories and a play in English and Cajun French as well as an expanded English to Cajun French vocabulary section. If you want to learn or improve your knowledge of Cajun French, this book will help. The Cajun Home Companion Vol. 2 is based on the same approach as in the first volume which has already helped many to reach their goal of speaking Cajun French. The 20th century was disastrous for Cajun French in Louisiana. However, with the dawning of the 21st century, a new vigor has arisen to preserve all things Cajun whether it is music, culinary practices or the language. I hope that if you have Cajun French speaking family members, you learn enough of the language from them now to help continue this invaluable cultural tradition. The Cajun Home Companion Vol. 2 will help you do just that.

Hieber, David Kaufman, Geoffrey Kimball, Thomas A. Klingler, Bertney Langley, Linda Langley, Shane Lief, Tamara Lindner, Judith M. Maxwell, Rafael Orozco, Allison Truitt, Shana Walton, and Robin White Louisiana is often presented as a bastion of French culture and language in an otherwise English environment. The continued presence of French in south Louisiana and the struggle against the language's demise have given the state an aura of exoticism and at the same time have strained serious focus on that language. Historically, however, the state has always boasted a multicultural, polyglot population. From the scores of indigenous languages used at the time of European contact to the importation of African and European languages during the colonial period to the modern invasion of English and the arrival of new immigrant populations, Louisiana has had and continues to enjoy a rich linguistic palate. Language in Louisiana: Community and Culture brings together for the first time work by scholars and community activists, all experts on the cutting edge of research. In sixteen chapters, the authors present the state of languages and of linguistic research on topics such as indigenous language documentation and revival; variation in, attitudes toward, and educational opportunities in Louisiana’s French varieties; current research on rural and urban dialects of English, both in south Louisiana and in the long-neglected northern parishes; and the struggles more recent immigrants face to use their heritage languages and deal with language-based regulations in public venues. This volume will be of value to both scholars and general readers interested in a comprehensive view of Louisiana’s linguistic landscape.

The Dictionary of Louisiana French (DLF) provides the richest inventory of French vocabulary in Louisiana and reflects precisely the speech of the period from 1930 to the present. This dictionary describes the current usage of French-speaking peoples in the five broad regions of South Louisiana: the coastal marshes, the banks of the Mississippi River, the central area, the north, and the western prairie. Data were collected during interviews from at least five persons in each of twenty-four areas in these regions. In addition to the data collected from fieldwork, the dictionary contains material compiled from existing lexical inventories, from texts published after 1930, and from archival recordings. The new authoritative resource, the DLF not only contains the largest number of words and expressions but also provides the most complete information available for each entry. Entries include the word in the conventional French spelling, the pronunciation (including attested variants), the part of speech classification, the English equivalent, and the word's use in common phrases. The DLF features a wealth of illustrative examples derived from fieldwork and textual sources and identification of the parish where the entry was collected or the source from which it was compiled. An English-to-Louisiana French index enables readers to find out how particular notions would be expressed in la Louisiane.

This insightful book is by far the broadest examination of traditional Cajun culture ever assembled. It goes beyond the stereotypes and surface treatment given to Cajuns by the popular media and examines the great variety of cultural elements alive in Cajun culture today—cooking, music, storytelling, architecture, arts and crafts, and festivals, as well as traditional occupations such as fishing, hunting, and trapping. It not only gives fascinating descriptions of elements in Cajun life that have been woven into the fabric of American history and folklore; it also explains how they came to be. Cajun Country reveals the historical background of the Cajun people, who migrated to Louisiana as exiles from their Canadian homeland, and it shows their folklife as a living and ongoing legacy that enriches America.

The Cajun Home Companion: Learn to Speak Cajun French And Other Essentials Every Cajun Should Know by Joseph and Scott Savoy A linguistic tragedy has unfolded in Louisiana as the first and second generations of non-French speaking Cajuns become Americanized. The ability to speak French, which in Louisiana had for centuries been handed down orally, is no longer part of Cajun cultural experience. Unlike their ancestors, who for hundreds of years spoke only French, most modern day Cajuns have lost their birth-right ... they have lost their ability to speak Cajun French. The 20th century has seen the systematic dismantling of the Cajun language, leaving many Cajuns with a longing for that lost part of their culture. If you have ever wanted to learn how to speak the language of your Cajun grandparents and their grandparents before them, this book was written for you. Through this simple guide, you will be speaking French from the very first lesson. And as your Cajun French vocabulary grows, you will learn to communicate more effectively. Both authors are excited about this work and in the ongoing Cajun Renaissance which began in the end of the 20th Century and is still gaining momentum. The Cajun Home Companion, with forward by Linda LeBert-Corbello, PhD, gives practical speaking exercises and also includes descriptions of cultural and historical events pivotal in forming the Cajun persona.
