No Fontenots, can't pronounce "Soileau".

What about the River Cajuns? My ancestors were among the first from Canada and settled in St. James in 1765.
That is correct, initially the Spanish in control of Louisiana at the time allowed Acadian settlement along the river, then sharply thereafter the prairie and bayou regions.

Even Bunkie and Eunice are probably more Cajun than laffy. Camo jacket, blue jeans, and Ariat shite kickers might as well be a damn tuxedo to them baws.
Lafayette is by far the biggest city in Cajun country, so it's understandable that it's not as Cajun as the smaller cities.

By the early 1800’s, nearly 4,000 Acadians had arrived and settled in Louisiana.
• Acadian settlement locations included:
• St. John Parish
• St. James Parish
• Attakapas region (St. Martin Parish)
• St. Gabriel, Louisiana
• Vidalia (old location)
• Natchitoches (settlers
• relocated to Opelousas)
• Bayou Lafourche area
Some moved beyond the Atchafalaya Basin onto southwest Louisiana’s prairies to raise cattle and rice. Through the years, the French language changed as did their architecture, music, and food.
Cajuns today are renowned for their unique culture, music, food, and traditions.
Over time the Acadians in Louisiana became known as “Cajuns” (which is an English word) as they adapted to their new home and its environment.
The immigration to Louisiana of different cultures created a different culture; however the Cajun culture remained dominant.
Cajuns are credited for starting the cattle industry. Cajuns had the first cattle brand registered in Louisiana's official brand book

I live in Avoyelles. It's definitely Cajun out here, but probably a little more creole. The French spoken out here is also more authentic than what you'll hear in say Ville Platte or Mamou. Once you get north of Marksville you're just in CENLA.

Lafayette likes to act Cajun, but it really isn't.
Most of Lafayette is made of people from the surrounding area.

I’ve noticed that Pineville isn’t Cajun at all for being so close to Cajun land.
