https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Louisiana

quote:

Greater New Orleans and the twenty-two parish cultural region known as Acadiana compose present-day French Louisiana.


According to this definition, the following parishes male up French Louisiana: Acadia, Ascension, Assumption, Avoyelles, Calcasieu, Cameron, Evangeline, Iberia, Iberville, Jefferson, Jefferson Davis, Lafayette, Lafourche, Orleans, Plaquemines, Pointe Coupee, St. Bernard, St. Charles, St. James, St. John The Baptist, St. Landry, St. Martin, St. Mary, St. Tammany, Terrebonne, Vermilion, and West Baton Rouge.

St. Tammany is the only Florida Parish considered to be in this region.

Are there really still people in Louisiana who speak French as their primary language? Sure in 1900. Seems like an urban legend by 2020.

On the flip side here’s Louisiana’s francophone population:



Per wiki:

Add Natchitoches and the area around it. (funny, spell check says Natchitoches is misspelled).

Natchitoches founded 1714 by French colonists, Catholicism is still prominent there, many leading families still consist of descendants of those original settlers.

All baws in St Tammany are over 6 ft and can pray directly to the good Lord without thinking some weird pedo intercedes for them. Map is not accurate.
