Acadian French is a variety of French spoken by Acadians, mostly in the region of Acadia, Canada. While the French were settling into Canada and other parts of North America, they brought their language with them and eventually came to inhabit a region of Canada known as Acadie, or Acadia. Originally, the region only comprised Nova Scotia but grew to become bigger as the French influence spread.

Any Québécois French volunteers? :)
It's still French, but it shares an unexpected feature with Spanish: replacement of the [ʒ] sound with [h].
Strangely enough it, sounds like a Afrikaaner was speaking French
Even as a Frenchman, it's easier to understand by reading than by listening.
It makes sense now why the accents in Louisiana sound the way they do. This sounds very much like someone from the southern US speaking French with a rather thick accent. Maybe this is also similar to what a thick southern US accent sounds like to a non-native speaker. Very interesting!
As a descendant of Acadian French from New Brunswick, i feel that this vid shoulda added Aroostook County, ME, as another place Acadian is spoken. Im from Aroostook County and there's a large population of French speakers here, especially the border towns of Ft. Kent, St.Francis, Madawaska, Van Buren, Limestone, and Ft. Fairfield. Acadian is a beautiful language and is one i as a descendant of Acadians would love to learn.
To me it sounds very Germanic. The pronunciation has almost no characteristics of a Romance language.
Wow I'm Canadian and didn't know this dialect was so different from even Quebecois. Sounds like a cowboy tries to speak French.
Sounds like a Texan speaking French
As a person who is studying french for only one week, i wont even notice this is still French at all.
Sounds like a cowboy speaking French
Greetings from Canada!!! 🇨🇦 My great grandma's family was Acadian, so it's nice to hear one of my ancestral languages in one of your videos!!!
The beauty of Acadian French and that it integrates Celtic, Germanic, Occitania and Amerindian phonology into a single mosaic.
Sounds very close to the Berrichon patois I was speaking in the 50s in Center France (Berry). All those juicy diphtongues have totally disappeared in Modern French.
뉴올리언스에 사는 미국 아재가 불어로 말하는 거 같다.
I live in Charente-Maritime, near La Rochelle. When I listen old people from country, especially in Saintonge, I can hear same nouns an and the way to pronounce the ch ( from chaud, for example), the dialect here is le Poitevin Saintongeais. Many migrants from this Saintonge, Aunis and Poitou sailed to Québec.
Interesting that it retains the flapped r and also has a retroflex r like in English.
sounds like if a cowboy read french out loud
As someone who grew up speaking french (second llanguage immersion) in eastern Canada and who lives in Nova Scotia and has had plenty of interactions with Acadians, this is not what I am used to hearing. The Acadian french dialect is very distinct, and very english influenced, but this person seems to be closely reading a standard orthography that kind of mimics the accent rather than speaking naturally. Also the text is in pure french, but the Chiac (New-Brunswick Acadian) that I am used to hearing tends to incorporate a lot of english words and phrases.
Oddly enough, Louisiana shares the same identity with Acadian French. They call it
