In Louisiana, Louisiana French isn't our only heritage language; Louisiana Creole is another language that is woven into our cultural fabric. In this episode, we talk with two leading experts and advocates for revitalizing the unique yet endangered Louisiana Creole language and passing it on to the next generation. First, college student Taalib Auguste gives us some language lessons and explains the history, variations, and linguistic context of the language. Then, we talk with Herbert Wiltz on his efforts to preserve and develop Louisiana Creole language and culture over the decades, in particular as a co-founder of C.R.E.O.L.E., Inc.

This hit home for me. I live in Texas and my family was from Louisiana and they spoke Creole and I also can speak a little but understand it very well. I really enjoyed hearing this.

I remember my grandmother speaking Creole French but I also remember her telling me that she was forced to not speak it or would be hit if she did. It's sad that this language died because others didn't understand it. My grandmother refused to teach it to her kids and grandkids because of how she was treated.

Wow! We have the exact same experience. My grandma only spoke French though. When her mom died she was 16 and was forced to speak English. She then learned creole. Never truly passed it down but my family understood and understands the language. It’s truly a dying language but I’m going to learn it and teach my children as I am from Louisiana myself but living in California. This state wants you to be transformed and you have to blend in. But I make it a point to speak to my kids in Ebonics at home to preserve what I do have.

It is nice Louisiana Creoles are passing down this unique language (a mix of *native-born Western African,* *Western European* and *Native American* languages) to keep this beautiful and varied culture alive. I see you guys are already succeeding progressively at it. Wish you great luck in your endeavors.

Je suis américaine mais j'ai appris ma langue française lorsque j'étais enfante. J'adore, J'ADORE, ces accents, et c'est plus facile for moi a comprendre. Sorry if my spelling and grammar is all over the place, i havent used the language in 30 years. Mais je l'adore, encore!

Bonjour de France, il y a des petites différences mais j'ai tout compris ! Le Créole de Louisiane ressemble énormément au Créole parlé dans tout l'océan Indien ! Vous avez tout mon respect Bravo Hi from France, there are small differences but I understood everything! Louisiana Creole is very similar to the Creole spoken throughout the Indian Ocean! You have all my respect Bravo

Stunning similarity with Mauritian creole as spoken by H.Wiltz. I could understand everything from T. Auguste too although a more frenchisized creole. And mind you Mauritius is very,very....very far away.

When I started school I couldn't speak english..only Creole.. what were the teachers to do with me.. early 60s ..there were French nuns from Canada.. so they sent me to them..when I would use a Creole word and not English would hit my palm with a ruler.. no shyt..I understand every word..but.. 😢😢😢😢 I can't speak it..I'll be reteaching myself this year.. I DO NOT LIKE NUNS.. AT ALL

Victoria, I'm so sorry the nuns hit you. I don't know what crawled up them and died back in the day. I'm a little biased because I love nuns. My sister in law is a nun and 2 of my little sisters are discerning to become nuns but don't worry, they are very nice now!! So don't hate them, I'm sorry you went through that!

I want to learn Louisiana Creole. I’ve search for it but all I can find is Haitian Creole. We go places and ppl swear we are speaking Creole at a minor level and asks if we’re from New Orleans but I guess it’s just our accents. My great great grandmother is from New Orleans but they moved around Louisiana because of having a very large family that kept expanding and forcing them to move again and again from Opelousas to Mossville, to West Lake and even completely out of the state to Texas, California, one of the Carolina s but my great grandmother settled in Lake Charles. Because of this my mom’s and my generation did not learn the language and everyone who did were/are else where. So we speak the standard English language as well as some Spanish. I won’t my baby nephew to begin learning so he can pass on and continue our native language. I also want to learn a bit myself

Bébé it was the hatians living in Louisiana who spoke kreyòl. I can understand everything they are saying. Haiti Martinique Guadeloupe st lucia still speaking creole. Jim crow Era most haitians left, After hurricane Katrina the rest of the creole people left Louisiana. The people now living in Louisiana are not creole. The usa government sent the germans other people there and call themselves Cajun. They kept the vodoo culture to make money. The language and the food is gone. The Cajun and the other blacks could not recreate. That is why now you have gumbo without gumbo. And gumbo with flour in it. More like gravy to me.
