French around the world: Keeping the language alive in Louisiana
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 09. 2024
- This week marks the "semaine de la francophonie" (French language week) - a celebration and recognition of French speakers around the world. In today's Focus report we go to Louisiana, where, a hundred years ago, teaching French was banned in public schools despite the fact that most residents did not speak English at the time. The tables have turned since then, but still today, about 10 percent of the state's population speaks French. A report by Fanny Allard and Kethevane Gorjestani.

It's quite interesting because I'm French Canadian from Quebec and their accent is quite similar to modern Quebec French. It would make sense, since both our accents are supposedly remnants of old Metro French. Pretty cool!
metro is for metropolitan?
@@wordart_guian yes
.
Oui
Do people use french often in canada?
@@user-ep8xo1od9o In Quebec French is gonna be your go-to language to get by anywhere. You're greeted in French, and most employees will be more comfortable speaking French. It's pretty much as French, if not more so, than France. However, especially in Montreal and its suburbs as well as in the regions neighbouring Ontario ans the US, you can get by absolutely fine by speaking mostly English. And most people speak English so you're never really stuck behind a language barrier (especially in Quebec, people are proficient bilinguals as English teaching is mandatory as a second language).
Outside of Quebec it can get more tricky to hear French, except for bordering parts of Ontario and New-Brunswick. Say you go to Vancouver on the West Coast, it'll feel like you're in Seattle as little to no one speaks the language on a daily basis. Government agencies, however, are required to serve people in their preferred language, as both languages are official.

This is crazy because I'm a French Acadian from New Brunswick, Canada and we have such a similar dilect. We learned alot about our history and how alot of Acadians were sent to Louisiana. Every August 15th there are HUGE celebrations all across Canada (mostly the east coast) its Acadian day. We still have not lost our french 💜 vivre L'acadie!!! ❣️
They are from French Acadia in Canada, but the British move a lot of them to Louisiana.....
Cajuns are Acadians. The only difference is your people stayed in the motherland while mine were exiled and settled in Louisiana.
Je suis américain d'origine vietnamienne. C'est formidable d'éveiller la langue française en Louisane. Il est important de pouvoir transmettre l'histoire aux générations suivantes, de parler plusieurs langues et de conserver nos identités culturelles et linguistiques - mêlées d'histoire et d'immigration. Bravo et bonne continuation!
Couldn't agree more. I'm French of vietnamese descent and not being able to speak any vietnamese feels like I'm not connected enough with my heritage and culture of my ancestors. Language is culture.
@@arthurvu-van8685 Interesting, so are you half vietnamese or your family for generations have french roots
@@arthurvu-van8685 Isn't like the most popular sandwhich in vietnam use like a french baguette? The name is escaping me..but i've watched a lot of travellers eating them.

Thanks so much to Fanny Allard and all the team at France 24! We are just getting started: the young and old generations are joining forces to reimagine our State by brining our language, culture, and identity into the future. #ViveLaLouisiane #EnsembleOnAvance #LâchePas
Does that include slavery, genocide and mass rape?

@@darthsigil You're one to speak Anglo, what have your forefathers done here? I guarantee it far exceeds what the Spanish, French or even the Dutch did here. Know your place
I love this so much! I hope these immersion schools become more popular in the US because the language classes in many of the schools are inadequate. We need to push the importance of bilingualism.
Yes! I believe it's proven that learning another can expand your long-term memory.
i hate how french became illegal to speak over a hundred years ago in Louisiana, we could've been a french speaking state. lm just thinking what if it never was banned, that i'd be trilingual 🥲, i wish it was still taught in school from young to old, instead of those 2 yrs in high school
Well, be part of the change and learn French, then. C'est possible.
Well the European Union ignored us. . A little victory is always heart warming
ignored who ?
@Slavic Pilled ok
@Slavic Pilled sounds racist
@Slavic Pilled what ?
@polla YT that makes you no better than him be the change you want to be
I'm French and when he said "Ce que la maitresse te demande" which sounded like "C'que la maitresse'euh d'mande" with his accent, I felt like I was hearing my grand-parent from Normandy lol, I can tell those patois they speak are close to some of the expressions and accents our french grand-parents have aswell
Father Jason Vidrine, who gave mass in French, is probably one of the descendants of a French aristocratic family 'de Védrines' from Bordeaux, France and a Canadian colonial officer J.B. François de Montcharvaux. They had come to Louisiana in the 18th century. Over the years, 'de Védrines' became 'Vidrine' or a more anglicized 'Verdine'. One of their descendants was a co-worker of mine in Texas. Some people had to alter their identities in order to fit in. It's fascinating to listen how French is spoken in this video. Thank you so very much France 24!
Would be great to see France24 do a segment on Créole culture in Louisiana, as well as the France language influences in their group as well. Thanks for the segment!
This is part of créole culture in Louisiana
Hi, I am from Montreal, canada and I consider myself an allophone since my family emigrated from Italy in the late 50s. I was born in canada and educated in english and speak perfect french and Italian.. It is so moving to see the kids with smiles on their faces and being taught a second language. French is an important and common language spoken around the world. Go job Louisiana !! Keep the tradition going !!!
The downside is, the kids are learning the French I know, Parisian French. Not Cajun French, not Québecois....it’s just not the same. I’m American and am thankful I had the chance to learn.
The state's strategy is to teach Metro French as the basis, then they will gradually learn more and more of the various forms of Louisiana French.
It's not completely true. It's a mix. I belong to a Cajun group. On there, you have Acadians, Quebecois and some people from France, and a majority of Cajuns. The Cajuns see posts talking about Cajun French versus other types of French, so you get both. It's a mix.
As a quebecois we learn Parisian French in quebec schools... we didn't loose our patois or accent.
What a great report. I would love to visit this place one day and try out my failing French!
Moi aussi!
I don't speak French, but I am also glad to see that the language is still alive in Louisiana. I am also glad to see that teachers from France have the opportunity to teach there and that France invests greatly in the state. Very interesting reporting! My grandfather was a child of French Canadian immigrants and had a similar experience as the old man in this piece: on his first day at school they sent him home because he couldn't speak English. Little wonder he didn't make it through the sixth grade before dropping out to work on the farm (yes, the economic factors--the Great Depression--were the primary cause of this).
Great for them for reviving their heritage and language ❤❤👏👏👏
I live in Louisiana and recently graduated with a French degree at LSU, if there’s no investment like this it’s estimated that the language here is going to die in about 15 years
They say that since 30 years
Media has been saying Texas is going to be like California and vote blue for decades ago. It still votes red.
@@adrianelias2365 what does that have to do with the language, culture , and preservation of Cajun Culture in Louisiana? They’re not even teaching the Louisiana dialect of French in the classroom, it’s a teacher from Lyon, France. The language is quite literally dying that was the main point of the video
@@morganstud yes... and when I did my French major they said it was 20 years... so by 2025 it is likely to be gone
Better for them to speak Parisian French than no French!
as a frenchman i'm so glad that our culture still exist in these part of america i thought it vanished a long time ago that's amazing
Vive la Louisiane Française eternelle!
so awesome! we need to keep the French language alive in Louisiana, I would love to see the state adopt it as an official language and require it to be taught in schools
There is any official language in the United State, not even english.
Yes the most americans have english for native language but this language is not more legit (about the constitutional right) than french or spanish language.
I think that’s a fascinating idea!!
I hope the Cajun French speakers grow in numbers !
This is great! I wish I started learning Spanish when I was in Elementary School. Would have really helped me out in both high school as well as college. Not to mention it would have helped me remember the language.
Je ne suis pas français mais je le peux parle et comprend un peut. I think that when the language barrier is broken people can better understand each other. Love from California.
Funny you didn't mention the entry requirements for french immersion schools. They aren't just open to anyone
Or the fact that Cajun might have roots in old world french but it is now a distinct, separate language with a rich culture. They are recognised as a distinct ethnic group.
I have many friends in Arcadia, my friends daughter is in this video. You are painting a different picture than reality
They speak proper French with 1900 accent front countries side
'Patois', Louisiana speaks French, not so much anymore, but it's partly because we believe these myths about ourselves. Our French is real French, if you can't be understood, then your French needs improvement. Language attrition is reality, and a symptom of French dying here, you fight that by learning, and speaking it as much as you can.
As a french guy, I must say that what I heard in this video wasn't patois, but true french with little differences.
also I found it weird to hear the journalist use the word "patois", even after the old people said it. calling someone else's language a patois is really disrespectful
@@wordart_guian It’s insulting, especially knowing that was a myth made to divide French Louisiana from their French identity.
Seriously, I cringed when I heard the old couple on the rocking chair say they don't speak "real French".
I'm not from Louisiana, yet their French is just French to me.
It seems like they've been told lies about their linguistic abilities precisely to make them feel insecure and reluctant to speak it. Being isolated from the rest of the French speaking world, they probably just believed it. Such a shameful lie.
Their French is beautiful.
It's really sad when I see comments of people calling Cajuns creole or a patoi... Cajun people speak French I can understand them clearly when they talk... Cajun is French with a beautiful accent.
Very interesting. Thanks.
This means so much to me after my Portuguese I will be learning French!
I hope those foreign teachers don't turn Cajun French to Parisian French like what they did to other French dialects in France.
It will sound like the French that was spoken in New Orleans 100 years ago which sounded more Parisian-like because New Orleans always had close ties to Paris since the 18th century.
@@IslenoGutierrez Not really. It will be a mix of French Canadian, French from France, and Cajun. A mix of all three since people are exposed to all three. And there are teachers from those places.
@@Bazza5000 And that will sound closer to what was spoken in the streets of New Orleans 100 years ago, a dialect somewhere between France, French Canada and the Caribbean.
The system tried to erase French from Louisiana by getting rid of it at school, it's like if spanish was banned from school in California. What a shame, it's pure discrimination of the culture and history of the country. As someone who lives in Quebec and doesn't have to worry about language discrimination because of the political system and laws in place, i can still feel the fear of losing where we all came from.
The reason that you only see the very old in these communities is because the Cajun youth move out due to lack of work ,hurricanes ,etc. I met many Louisiana Cajuns all over the Gulf of Mexico :Biloxi,Mobile,Gulfport,Texas ,places like Galveston ,many in Florida : communities in the Gulf of Florida : Panama City,Sarasota ,Tarpoon Springs,etc :scattered all over .
Sadly 30% of the Acadians died of disease and malnutrition when the British deported them from their homeland.
Homeland? They stole the land from the native Canadians. Their homeland is France
@@akhan4727 You don’t know anything about the Acadians. They had friendly relations with the Micmac people in Canada and never conquered land by force. They settled the area in the early 1600s and had been there for 160 years when they were expelled by the British. It’s like if the people of New Mexico today were deported back to England what you speak of, in other words ridiculous.
@@akhan4727 hope you know the difference between indigenous and native. Natives are the first people's. indigenous are the people who pre-existed for hundreds of years before the BNA and Canadian Confederation happened. Plus many of us like myself are part Mi'kmaq.
@@akhan4727They didn’t steal it. They settled it. They traded with the Mikmaq tribe of the area.
Heureux de voir que l’on parle français en Louisiane, une belle région (la plus belle?). La diversité linguistique est aussi une diversité intellectuelle et un enrichissement!
I don't appreciate the old couple belittling themselves to say that their French is not the real French, when their accent and old romance R are closer to the French heard in Molière's plays than this artificial 19th century construct imposed in France and exported to Canada, erasing the latter's accentual similarity to Cajun completely, and its vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation mostly. I actually heard some young radio host replace native La French "sus" (on) with "sur", the first also being part of "dessus" (upon) and the latter "surtout" (above all), both common everywhere, of course. If you want to know how most French Canadians sounded like before their imported school system, come to La before we're homogenized, as well.
I don't know about those Louisiana radio hosts, but if I was hosting a radio show I certainly would say
« sur la table » but if you meet me on the street speaking to Paul, Jean et Jacques I'll definitely say
« Sus a tabe » same as my 93 year-old grandmother would say or my 10 year-old daughter would say.
That's just called being fluent in different contexts or diaphasic and diamesic variation.
I speak naturally with my grandma using the same idolect she speaks but if I show up on TV that's a different context.
I can do both.
Within the same sociolect it's nornal to witness diachronic (generational differences) diatopic, (regional differences) diastratic (social differences) diaphasic (differences in level of formality) and even diamesic variations (differences accross medium of communication / on the phone / in real life / on radio / on TV etc. )
That means the language is healthy and not "dying" .
That's what school did here.
I'm certainly glad I can speak French using more than one linguistic dimension.
@@leaucamouille3394 Fine, and after you're irretrevably immersed, don't be like Canadians and pretend that there's any difference between your French and Euro French, or make excuses why sus is too insurmountable a task to utter across broadcast waves. Cajun has rules, but broadcast rules pay the billls, still, Cajun Omar muses:
Ah, Catin, comploter, toi, mon et Lui!
Saoir tout l' Plan Pitoyabe de c' Pays!
Est-ce que on l' casserait pas en P'tits Morceaux,

@@morrisyork6133 Vous êtes vraiment tout mêlé. Vous pensez que je viens d'où alors? Vous n'avez pas bien lu on dirait...
Êtes-vous un expert des autres variétés de français? Clairement vous parlez à travers votre chapeau.
Demandez à n'importe quel Français si les Québécois parlent comme eux, la réponse sera toujours négative. Franchement, vous ne percevez aucune différence? Parlez-vous français pour juger qu'ils sont identiques? Sérieusement? 🤨 Il me semble que la différence est frappante pour tout le monde.
Le système scolaire québécois a peu à voir avec le système français et les profs sont tous locaux et l'ont toujours été.
Le Québec n'a jamais importé de professeurs étrangers pour enseigner le français comme c'est actuellement le cas en Louisiane. Ça n'a jamais été une nécessité. Le français académique qui est enseigné à l'école est le même qu'en France, mais cela n'enlève strictement rien à l'identité linguistique unique, l'accent et le parlé familier coloré des Québécois. Maîtriser le français littéraire ouvre des portes sur toute la francophonie. Le replis sur soi, lui, n'apporte rien et nuit à l'avenir du français en Amérique et contribue à son isolante folklorisation. Personne au Québec ne craint d'être "assimilé irrémédiablement" par les Français et leur parlé comme vous affirmez que c'est déjà le cas, cette affirmation est ridicule, c'est le Canada anglais qui s'est donné cette mission et qui la met en oeuvre depuis 250 ans.
They should do an immersive education like catalonia’s
Oui, c'est formidable de sauver le français là ou il est une langue minoritaire, mais en même temps, il faut absolument pas utiliser l'occitan, le catalan, le basque, le corse ou le breton en France, cela va a l'encontre des valeurs républicains!
Hey, that a great point. France should respect the various regional dialects and languages of regional communities. People should be encouraged to maintain their heritage language and not forced to use only standardized French .
Thank you for the report!
Vive la République, vive la France

This is part of the créole part of Louisiana.
Thanks for sharing

Thank God! I am so sick of all the emphasis being on English and Spanish
Maybe that emphasis on those languages (English and Spanish) is because they have more speakers than French and some people find them more 'useful'.
It doesn't pay to get upset about Spanish being spoken in the US. It's here to stay.
Umm you do realise that in this country the majority of people especially in the south speaks those languages? It should be placed upon the members of that community to keep it alive not other people

They say the r sound with their tongues like in Spanish or Italian rather than with their throats like in German. Is that how they say it in Québécois French?
That used to be the r sound in much of France before the German style r invaded France.
Canadian French originated from which part of France?
As far as I know, most of the original settlers were from the northwest of france
@Slavic Pilled Normans seems very adventurous and brave people. not only they went to England but also to Americas
@@rajanlad yup, they were Vikings.

My original ancestor came here from Rouen on one side of my family and Tours in the south on the other side of my family. My family names today are LaCroix and Gauthier. During the revolutionary period in North America of 1775 my dar ancestor was named Delacroix dit Langevin. He was an abolitionist with Republican ideals. My hero Agustin.
Ya, Im just a 13-year-old learning French in school, and I need to do a summary of this video. But I learned a lot from this video.
I think it did not only happen to the Cajuns that speaking French was seen as not intelligent, but it happens to other groups in the USA ,like to many Spanish speakers.
I have met many French Canadians who winter in Florida,USA.If I hear a Cajun,I would have asked them , "Are you French-Canadian ? " Also even Cajuns defending where they are from some have heavier Southern accents; some have very heavy Southern accents .
Peut-on avoir le contact de ces gens aux usa...
If not for the French supplying weapons and intelligence to the continental army, we would not have the country we have today or nearly the strength. Amazing how French culture is not more celebrated and embraced in the US, I think we share a lot of deep ties that should be recognized and celebrated. It made me happy to see the kids saying the pledge in en Francais.. vive la liberté et la fraternité de l’Amérique et de la France..
That is incredible.. glad to see a strong investment in youth programs.. it’s essential.. wish Italy did the same thing in America.. good job!

Pierre Part is a string of dollar stores, strip malls and auto repair shops glued to either side of a highway. 3,000 people live there, and 40% of them speak French...so, 1,300 or so?
they should hire acadian teachers
Tell me exactly when did the french language start dying?
@Slavic Pilledlmao shut up racist. He's talking about in louisiana. And the answer is when xenophobic english speakers, ignorant like you, made it illegal to speak french in schools because they are afraid of people who are different.
@Slavic Pilled french is really freaking not endangered in france, I bet you're one of those people who freak out when people speak minority languages of france.... (com l'occitan o lo catalan o lo breton o l'euskera) but this is about louisiana. french is the minority language in louisiana and as such needs protection. in france, it doesn't.
When France lost control of North America
@Modi Superpooper 2020 i am not at all defending colonization. But comparing the 2 is not the same. A lot of africans speak french because they had to learn it. A majority of louisianas are French descendants, they knew the language, not english. Passing laws outlawing languages in schools is a violation of the constitution and freedom of speech.
@@ericwalker2434 clearly you didn’t do your research TEACHING IN FRENCH was banned not LEARNING FRENCH also why are you expecting someone who isn’t apart of your community to keep it alive? That responsibility should be placed on the members of its community not someone else
And also it probably benefited a lot of people by banning teaching in french since higher education in America is mostly in English
(And I should know I’m living in that system where the language in school isn’t apart of the system that was made)
It's weird. They sound like they're non native Spanish speakers trying to speak Spanish but.. its French...
As a Spanish speaker, my mind keeps telling me they're speaking Spanish
Spanish and french are similar languages that may be why
They are using the r in the front of the tongue like in Spain which used to be prevalent across France before the adoption of the r used in the back of the throat. That’s why you’re confused because you probably never heard the old style French before.
They speak similar to French patois of the the Caribbean : Martinique,Guadalupoe

@@connerb.6571 ok let them close Human museum, Return the remains to their families to bury....
Why is there this line of keep the French language alive? It's alive in many places and if it dies out in Louisiana then that most probably is due to the natural evolution of the language's journey there. Language is always in movement. And it's not an inheritantly bad thing for it to disappear.
They want to keep it alive because there are people like American English speakers who force the French speakers to forget and speak their own language and culture.
It's not an inherently bad thing for cultural diverity to disappear? Change Louisiana French for Navajo, Gullah or Yiddish and you will see it's a bad thing.
i agree. i personally think it would be cool if people in louisiana had naturally held onto their unique dialect, but it seems like they haven’t for the most part. teaching kids metropolitan french at school seems forced. it’s just not the same language.
@@tfh5575 Well, if you learn metropolitan French, then you can easily pick up Cajun French and pick up dictionaries, CDs. A lot of peope speak a mix of French from France and Cajun. It's like a half-breed. It's not an either or thing. Also, there's French Canadian influence in Louisiana from the teachers from there, as well.
