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

Yeah, those people have died off. My grandmother's family moved to south Louisiana from Nova Scotia when she was in grade school. She had to learn English in school, and her parents wouldn't allow her to speak it in the house. She spoke Cajun French fluently up until the day she died.
