Language of French Louisiana (Cajun) - What language do the Acadians speak? The
answer is sort of obvious (Cajun French), but that should be qualified a bit...
Louisiana Creole people - Louisiana Creole refers to people of various racial
backgrounds who are descended from the colonial French settlers, African-
Americans, and Native Americans from the time before the Louisiana territory
became a possession of the United States through the Louisiana Purchase (1803).
The Origins of Louisiana Creole - What is meant by the terms "Creole" and "Louisiana
Creole"? There have been quite a few different definitions of Louisiana Creole (LC)
and Creole in general. According to Albert Valdman, the word Creole originates
from crioulo or criolo, which entered the French Language from the Spanish, which
in turn probably derives from the past tense crialdo of the verb crier (from the Latin
creare), which means "servants raised in the master's house."
