I'm so happy i found your channel! I'm french living in Missouri and i just learned about the paw paw and it's so interesting. Please forgive me for being picky but i'm pretty sure that étourneau is a starling. Blackbird is merle. Keep up the good work!

Glad you found the channel! The native speakers who were providing the vocabulary in the late 1970s specified that for them, an étourneau was a blackbird. They were asked what a starling was but didn’t know the answer. Of course there had been no formal French education in Missouri since the late 1800s, and the dialect already varied in many ways from Standard French, so not everything lines up perfectly.

I’m from Québec and it’s crazy how many similarities there are with our way of speaking.

I was born and raised in Farmington, Missouri. Ancestors on my mother’s side were part of the French migration to Missouri, including Sainte Genevieve, and my great-grandfather was a Boyer [Bwhy-Yeh] whose lineage came from France through Québéc. I have an ancestor who came to Missouri and was born and baptized in Québéc. This may be why there’s so many similarities…

Oiseau= wazo. Un oiseau= unwazo Les oiseaux= lay zwazo. ( The birds) Des oiseaux= day zwazo ( birds). Une maison d'oiseaux= unmayzon dwazo= a bird's house. Of course in parisian french some sounds doesn't exists in english like "u"= [y] in international phonetic alphabet. Or "on" in french sounds [õ]. Then "une maison d'oiseaux" sounds : [ ynmezõdwazo] in parisian french. In southern french it would approximatively sounds like: [ynømezòndwazo]

I have included IPA in a couple things, but since my target audience has been the (grand) children of native speakers, I’ve mostly stuck to the method that the last generation of native speakers came up with, aided by Dr Rosemary Thomas, to help their anglophone relatives (with no knowledge of French) learn how to pronounce the words.
