Grew up in Chalmette and Galliano two very different areas with different dialects…imagine the looks I get Bc it’s a mixture of the two

One of my cousins, now long dead, grew up in the Jackson Barracks on St. Claude right before you hit the St. Bernard Parish Line.

When he got older, he moved to Lockport, took a job there, met a beautiful Cajun gal and got married. Well, within a year you'd have thought he grew up swimming the bayous, having nutrias and alligators for pets and trawling and trapping all his life. He sounded more Cajun then the locals.
