They are there. I work with a few guys that are fluent in cajun french, and they know quite a few people that are also fluent.
It's definitely a dying language (unfortunately). I'm trying to learn it, and would love to teach it to my son one day, but it's not as easy teaching yourself.

frickers at school made us take fricking french in high school, because of coonass culture. Meanwhile, we are getting inundated with messicans. Anyone who looked at census data over the last 40 years knew that the messcians were coming, but nooooo, they forced us to take fricking french.
Taking an ebonics class makes more sense than learning french. Then at least you can understand drive-tru talk.

My grandma and great aunt were from Loreauville and used to speak what they called "trash French" to each other at family events. Sadly they said when they were younger they would be disciplined at school if they spoke French so they never passed it on.

KVPI in Ville Platte does the news in French daily. My parents generation speaks it. Mine, nope.

My parents and their friends speakncajun French fluently. They hold a French club meeting every month (basically a supper) and about 50-60 people show up. Granted they are all getting very old.

It's from the Census.
