Reflection

My first research question was where did the Cajun dialect originate? I fund out that the Cajun dialect originated in the French colonies. It is a mix of French, Native American, and English languages. My second question do you think people in Decatur,Georgia speak some Cajun. I don't think people in Decatur,Georgia speak Cajun ,because Cajun is mostly used in southern Louisiana.

Recommendations

I recommendend students to go reasearch futher information on cajun dialects. Students should find audio clips and pictures of the lifestlye of cajun people. I recommend students to travel to Lousiana or speak to people they know that are cajun and ask them about cajun language and othe southeastern language.

Primary Resource

I made a questionnaire. I asked my grandmother about her experience and she explained that in Louisiana there are older people that use the Cajun dialect. Younger people in Louisiana do not use the Cajun language often its very rare to see a young person use it. I asked her are there certain places in Louisiana that speak the Cajun dialect and she explained that down in the southern part of Louisiana is where people speak the most Cajun.

I asked my grandmother if certain races use the Cajun dialect and she explained that she only heard of African American and southern whites that speak Cajun. I asked her do Cajun people have certain foods that they make she explained that of course the Cajun people had different foods she said that they have create different types of pastas and sea food dishes.She told me that the Cajun dialect is a very interesting language. She said it sounds like French and Southern languages put together.

Sources

My main source for Cajun dialect was an article called the Louisiana Creole. This article was on a web page called Encyclopedia Britannica on the website http://www.school.eb.com.
You can find all the dialects on Encyclopedia Britannica. I also read a article on Cajun dialect called "Cajun" its just a description on where Cajun people originated.

Secondary Research

Lets start with the Cajun dialect. The Cajun people are a group of people who live in southern Louisiana. Their ancestors lived in a French colony that is now the Canadian province of Nova Scotia and nearby lands. The name Cajun comes from the name of the colony, Acadia.

So the Cajun dialect is a mix of French language and Canadian language put together to make up Cajun language.This dialect was created around the Louisiana Purchase spoken by slaves brought to North America from Haiti and Lesser Antilles.

Research Plan

This is Georgia Bulldog's runningback Knoshown Moreno, I wonder if speaks Cajun I doubt it he is from Indiana.

I plan on answering these questions by using the internet to see different cultures that use different dialects. I plan on using the encyclopedia and maps to understand where South Eastern Dialects originated. I am going to use maps of the South East region of the United States to see how many different languages are spoken in this region.I will also interview ,my grandmother to see her point of view on Cajun dialect.
