Louisiana Creole (Louisiana Creole: Kréyòl Lalwizyàn) is a French-based creole language spoken by fewer than 10,000 people, mostly in the state of Louisiana. Also known as Kouri-Vini, it is spoken today by people who may racially identify as White, Black, mixed, and Native American, as well as Cajun and Creole. It should not be confused with its sister language, Louisiana French, a dialect of the French language. Many Louisiana Creoles do not speak the Louisiana Creole language and may instead use French or English as their everyday languages.
Due to the rapidly shrinking number of speakers, Louisiana Creole is considered an endangered language.
If you are interested to see your native language/dialect be featured here.
Submit your recordings to otipeps24@gmail.com.
Looking forward to hearing from you!

Actually it makes sense. The Louisiana Creole's writing is newer than the French one. The French one kept ancient prononciations in its spelling.

Great video! As a cajun/creole whos family lives in California, i'm always happy to hear anything about Louisiana 😅 our family French is more Spanish these days and I don't know much Kouri Vini, location location location. Chinuk Wawa? They're teaching it in schools now for revitalization, big influence on the way Americans and Canadians talk on the west coast.

@@IslenoGutierrez if more people understood the words available to them, I think more people would 'identify' as creole. I know it's probably not a standard use you see frequently, but creole sits as a shade of citizen in between native & immigrant in my head. I have a conlang where the word for "citizen" is actually sliced up in those three ways to mirror this.

@@EchoLog There’s a true story I like about two politicians running for office in old New Orleans. Both were white. One was an immigrant from France and the other was born and raised in New Orleans. The local man ran on the fact that his opponent was an immigrant while he was a Creole. That won him the position. In this context we can see Creole solely means someone local, native-born to Louisiana (in this case New Orleans). Today, so many people have so many things they think Creole is and if you ask 1000 people you’d probably get 1000 different answers. If only it could be as simple as it once was.

@@IslenoGutierrezig after being like slowly assimilated into the rest of the American south which has had a very solid line between black and white it has caused the whole definition of Creole, which in antiquity was just a very broad and general term to denote all French speakers native to the state, to kind of like slowly shift out of its original meaning or how it was understood, but yeah it was honestly just a lot simpler when it just mean all Francophones in Louisiana lol

@@fireblazenotbulgaria3053 It wasn’t just all Francophones of any race in Louisiana, it was any non-indigenous native. It’s the same definition that was in old Latin America before Spaniards attached it mostly to Spaniards born in Latin America. However, when Louisiana became a US state, incoming Americans rejected the créole identity and after that it began to be associated with colonial Louisiana descendants of the U.S. state of Louisiana, especially Francophones since this demographic was the largest colonial Louisiana descendant population in the state. The common misinformation spread today that creoles are mixed race people with black African ancestry is 100% wrong and has its own story how this lie became widespread. However, in the New Orleans area, creoles can still be any non-indigenous natives, especially those of colonial Louisiana descent and especially those of French and Spanish backgrounds. There is still a social club society for white Creoles in the New Orleans area called “The Society of the Founders of the City of New Orleans” that holds balls, meetings, social club events, voting for board members etc. The New Orleans area still holds on to the true meaning of Creole. Also, there are a good number of folks in northern Acadiana (Avoyelles, St. Landry, Pointe Coupée and Evangeline) that still hold on to the Creole identity. Most of these folks are of French and Québécois ancestry that arrived to Louisiana long before the Acadians arrived.

Louisiana Creole (kouri-vini) is on its deathbed, it’s moribund. Same thing with Isleño Spanish (the only surviving Spaniard colonial spanish dialect in Louisiana), it’s also moribund. Louisiana French on the other hand is on life support and has a chance at survival as it has many more speakers than Louisiana Creole and Louisiana Isleño Spanish combined and bigger and more efforts are being made to retain it.

Louisiana Creole and Louisiana French sound very similar to each other and use much of the same words and pronunciation, much more than any French dialect from France. For instance, LF uses nous-autres and LC uses the same word but spells it nouzot but it’s the same word. Also the pronunciation for things like un and other pronunciations made by LC is the same in LF. You should have compared LF and LC and you’d see.

@@DaTruthTeller504 First of all, I’m not some random Latino, I’m a white Louisiana Creole. I’m part Spanish (Spain) so that’s where my screen name comes from, but I have French blood too. Secondly, Louisiana Creole is not mostly made up of African languages, it’s mostly French with some African hybridization and non-standard phonetic spelling. Try losing the attitude, you catch more flies with honey than vinegar.

@@DaTruthTeller504 Louisiana Creole (kouri-vini) is not a “black American” language. It’s a language historically used by people that for their entire existence did not identify as American. It’s also a language that was and is used not only by black Louisianians, but also mixed race and white Louisianians as well. It’s origins are a mixture of French and various African languages with several borrowed words from Spanish and Native American languages. It’s more french than anything. Any Louisiana French speaker can understand Louisiana Creole because of that reason.
