I was raised on the border. Had I gone to school 2 miles north, in Bayou Chicot, i would have a twang. Instead, i went to school 5 miles south, in ville platte, and have an extrememly flat accent.

Not a clear line, more like a sort of DMZ from Ville Platte to Alexandria.

Between Ville Platte and Turkey Creek.

The Moncla Bridge is the correct answer

Lake Charles definitely is not Cajun. The cutoff heading west along 10 is probably Lacassine or Iowa.

While I agree with your map 100% my only question is, how does this happen historically? Like it really makes no sense to me. If I were a huge river like the Mississippi or something I could see why, but I don’t understand how one place can be Cajun then you cross a small creek and it’s all of a sudden twangy redneck...

Along these lines:
1. Does our diversity make us great?
2. Like the Dakotas and Carolinas, would we be better off being split to two states: North Louisiana and South Louisiana?
