I’m Haitian, I didn’t know I could have understood anything but yes I understand most things she said 👏🏽👏🏽

Im from central Louisiana and I should understand more than I do, but we weren't taught because the old folks only spoke French around us when they didn't want us to know what they were saying

My mom was from Louisiana and spoke Creole french fluently. She taught me a few phrases and I taught my sons. My great grandparents were from France and they didn’t speak any English that’s why my mom had to learn. I will always honor my mother’s heritage.

As a native french speaker from Belgium, I understand maybe 70-80% of what she says! It's maybe due to the accent, but all to the fact that she uses very old fashioned french expressions like "un petit brin": my grand-ma used to say that, and she was from a little village in the south-east of Belgium! Love to all the french speakers

I’m from Martinique. Respect aunty, keep speaking Creole.

Danm this sound like Haitian-Creole. I understood Literally everything.

I’m Creole, parents from Louisiana, and this French was my mom’s first language. My dad’s passé blanc, un gens de colour libre, and they got rid of their French language a generation before him, because that’s what “the Black people spoke” - I know, I know... major eye roll. He’s got the French last name, but mom had the language. I took 7 years of French in school, high school and college, but it’s not the same - similar! But not the same. God bless them, they are still together and living in Michigan. I’m married but didn’t change my last name - I’m proud of my Creole heritage!

My grandma overheard me practicing for a French test once and was shooked. That’s when she told me about our Creole history & that kids weren’t allowed to learn it and were punished for speaking it around adults.

I'm from Seychelles and we also speak creole. All creole speaking countries will understand each other as it is originated from french. Most of the creole speaking countries has a history of french colonisation.

My grandma and all her sisters spoke Creole. Family is from Elton and Oberlin, Louisiana. Sad I never got to learn. They didn't teach us so they could gossip😂.

I've never been anywhere near Lousiana but living halfway across the world in Mauritius and speaking a local creole, I could understand every single word.

I'm Louisiana Creole. My father was born in Texas because they moved, but all of the aunties speak Creole French. I've always wanted to learn it so that I can speak to them in their dominant language. I'm starting to learn this year 😁

I speak Quebec French and I could easily understand her. A few times I heard the odd word that I didn't understand until I got the context of the whole sentence. Some of her endings of words are similar to Parisian French but with that island sort of twang. Really interesting.

I grew up in Mauritius. I speak Creole and I'm always blown away how our creoles are so similar despite the distance between us. Language is truly organic. Thanks for the video. Maybe I should upload a video so people can see the similarities.

From St. Lucia, I understood 90% of what she said. And I'm not even fully fluent like the ppl from the rural areas. Wow.

Louisiana born and raised and I’m glad my grandmother taught me some french

Please keep this language going in Louisiana. It's beautiful!!

Im from Mauritius. I see that louisiana creole is very similar with Mauritian creol..

I’m not Haitian but African-American; my husband is Haitian because I spent time in Haiti with my mother -in-law ; I learned creole and this ladies creole is definitely similar to Haitian Creole. I understood everything she said.

I'm from Louisiana but my grandmother didn't teach us creole so I took french in college and my professor told me my French was so bad I should switch to Spanish. He broke my little Louisiana heart... Lol. I'm going to learn it now so I can travel through France for culinary school.

I'm from NC, not remotely Creole, but I was drawn by the still they used for the video. To look at this beautiful woman's face, and to hear her speak... I just want to sit beside her, and enjoy the sound of her voice.

This sounds like Haitian Creole. She’s officially Auntie now 😂😂

The people of Louisiana need to preserve French it's such a beautiful language. French is hard but it's beautiful and in Louisiana like California there are two languages.

I’m from Mauritius, the other side of the world from Louisiana, and I understood all she said 😃

I'm Cajun and this makes me miss my grandparents so much. I remember playing in the back yard while they all sitting back speaking French

Louisiana is special, especially New Orleans.

I’m french and I can definitely understand everything sound very similar to the French Caraïbes creole

Their creole is the same as the creole back home in Guadeloupe 🇬🇵. I understood every word.

I totally forgot that we have American citizens in Louisiana who largely speak this French Creole.......she speaks it well

Born and raised in Baton Rouge. My maternal grandfather and paternal great grandmother both spoke creole French. they were both originally from pointe coupee parish. It saddens me that I only know a few phrases. Oh how I wish I had known what a gift this was!

Im Haitian and I understand clearly because I also know French very well. Its like hearing my Lician boyfriend speak creole, my ears take a minute to adjust.

It’s wild because I’m Cabo Verdean and my creole is Portuguese based but I did understand some wow!

Long live Lousiana and French Creole in America from Italy 🇮🇹🇫🇷

It's really cool to see alot of Haitian and others are saying how similar she sounds to where they are from. Very cool I'd love to learn creole before it's lost

My grandmother and my mom spoke creole French. Of course, we are from New Orleans. ♥️. Respect to this lady. God bless her!!! 🙏

I'm from the Seychelles and I could understand perfectly what she is saying

My grandmother speaks Louisiana French it's always nice to listen to her.

Hi ,I'm from mauritius where creole language is talked also and this lady really mesmerised me as I literally didn't know that creole was talked in louisiana

My mother's family are all Creoles. From different parts of Louisiana. She spoke it a little at home. My father was clueless to what they were saying 😄. I'm learning. Planning on making a trip to Louisiana this year.

Im from Seychelles and I understand everything she said. Kreol: Mon sorti Sesel e mon konpran tou sa ki in dir.

Listening to her speaks makes me miss my grandmother so much!! Hearing this was my childhood filled with joy.... thank you

I’m American but of Caribbean decent. My parents and grandparents are from Trinidad 🇹🇹. My maternal grandmother learned to speak creole French from one of her best friends growing up. Sadly she never taught her kids because that was for adult talk only and therefore us grandkids didn’t learn

Haitian-American here. I was born and raised here in the US. I’m very fluent in Haitian Creole but don’t speak or understand French. My wife was born and raised in Haiti and can speak French fluently. To get to my point, I can basically understand more of what the woman is saying then a person speaking to me in French.

I'm from France and I understand everything she said, I'm in love with that accent 😍

Fred told Suga you don't mess with those Creole women

I'm Hispanic and i understood everything she said thanks to the subtitles and the couple of years of french i took in high school and college. I'm so ignorant. I didn't know Creole was french based. This was amazing to watch and hear!

I AM FROM ST LUCIA AND WE SPEAK CREOLE!!! BRAVO 2021

I'm from Jamaica 🇯🇲 , and I understood everything that she said from the subtitles 🤣🤣🤣. #love languages and dialects.

Martinique here! It's amazing, her creole is very similar to ours in French west indies! Totally understandable.

I speak creole but Reunion island creole (near madagascar ) and its very similar, I can understand what she said without looking the subtitle.

I am French and I understood everything 😊 it’s like French Canadian - at first it sounds so different but if you let your mind do the job it does make sense ! I love Louisiana. Hope to go back there soon !

I'm from St. Lucia, much to my surprise I can understand most of what she was saying 💜👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

My grandparents and great aunts and uncles were creole and all spoke this way. I miss hearing them. All deceased.

Oh my days, it’s so similar to our Creole in Dominica 🇩🇲. I am pleasantly surprised I understood what she is saying.

I'm St. Lucian and I understand this. This is wonderful 💕

I’m considered “white”, born and raised in Louisiana. Three of my grandparents first language was French. I understood most of what this lady was saying. I would love to visit with her.

As a mauritian i understand every single words she said. Amazing how similar it is to Mauritian creol

I spent alot of time in Haiti (mainly Cap Hatien) while I was in the Army and learned a bit if the creole language. Alot of french and spanish is spoken there as well. Creole people are very loving and generous. I want to go back to visit.

Beautiful!!! I love the sound of creole. My maw maw tried reaching us before she passed. I’m yet still trying to learn to teach my kids a part of their heritage.

I am from St. Lucia and understand everything she said.

Judging from the comments I can see that it makes sense that the ancestors from lousiana were probably related to the ancestors in Haiti because the languages are very close and they both practice voodoo religion.

My grandparents native tongue was Creole but spoke both. They learned primarily for their kids. I spoke both languages but when my grandmother passed I stopped speaking and now speak very little but still understand everything. I wish I had kept speaking fluently for my kids. They only understand phrases. This makes me want to take a class because I know it would come back to me quickly to teach my kids more and especially have bilingual grands. When we move we should hold on to our heritage. I not as strong because I left Louisiana.

my ex husband was creole from Louisiana! His family had a beautiful accent. He had no accent himself as he moved away at a young age!

I speak fluent Mauritian Kreole as my mum is Mauritian and I speak fluent French as my dad is French. This is unbelievably like kreole Mauricienne. But that does not surprise me as Africans we all the same People no matter where that boat landed.

Most of the dialect was taken from our elders, my Great-grandmother was of Haitian Decent and could barely speak English. I learned to speak Creole from her at the age of 3 so the Language definitely has ties to Haiti and Caribbean Provinces.

I’m Cajun, my grandparents are creole. The language never got passed down and I wish it would’ve. The culture is amazing. It’s my favorite thing about myself and I take a lot of pride in my heritage

Hi wasn't born no where near Louisiana but dated two Beautiful women from there. Fell in love with the food and culture. Can't wait to come visit again. I love that Zydeco!

I am totally intrigued. Such a mesmerizing culture.

I understand her perfectly she has a mix of french and Haitian creole.

She’s speaking loud and clear to me. I wish people would talk like this in my town

Wow, so impressive to see there’s a community/state from the USA that speaks such fluent creole. I’m from New York and I’m familiar with the French Caribbean because my family is Guyanese (Guyana, a country located in South America but was a part of the British West Indies). I’m familiar with Haitian, St. Lucian and Dominican creole. In New York, especially in the borough of Brooklyn, we have a huge Caribbean/West Indian community.

I loved hearing the ancestor speak, it was healing and soothing.

Damn I’m Congolese & can understand her & Haitian creole !

I'm from merica, don't speak a lick of french and even I can understand: as long as they got them words wrote underneath in merican.

Bro, I've already heard people speak of Louisiana Creole, but I had no idea it was the same as Haitian Creole. Oh mèsi ma tante Marie ou fè kè'm plezi🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹❤❤❤❤

When my family moved from Sulphur, Louisiana in the late '20s my mother only spoke Creole French. Failed her first year of school here in Texas because of her lack of English. By the time she passed she couldn't speak her native tongue. She could understand what people where saying or the songs buy couldn't speak it for she hadn't spoke it for so long. She just loved listening to her people sing and speak her native tongue. One of the toughest women Ive ever known.. Picked cotton as a child, worked for the war effort sewing sandbags, raised her siblings younger than her, raised 5 of us kids and numerous nieces and nephews and grandchildren. Always willing to take a family member in whether there was room or not. And always willing to cook ya something at a drop of a dime. Something that was instilled in her as a child, when ya have a visitor offer to feed them for they never knew when and where their next meal would come from.

As a French Canadian, I understood 99% of what she said :D

She is absolutely beautiful. Her language is like home to me! My family were haitian french descendants. I love this language and the few people who really speak it. This language is amazing. Learn it if you have the guts.

This is amazing I’m Haitian and I can understand some of the things she said. Some things I didn’t understand but they are similar. I’ve been asked if I’m from New Orleans or Louisiana so many times.

I'm from Dominica 🇩🇲 I totally understood what she said ..damn

Omg I’m creole Indian and that’s the first time I’ve seen someone speaking the native language much much gratitude

Such a beautiful and interesting language.

My mother's grand father was the last generation to speak Louisiana creole in my family. He was from Lebeau and had farm land out that way. My grandmother (my mother's mother) knew some of it from during childhood but lost it when they moved further up north LA. She said her father didn't have anyone to speak it with besides the kids and they weren't interested to keep learning. Everytime they went back to Lebeau to visit that's all her dad would speak. I wish it was passed down to my generation.

My ancestor My 6th grandma is Marie metoyer aka coin coin. Born in Natchitoches lousiana and played a big part in helping create melrose plantation which is the largest plantation in the United States EVER built by people of color.. The only slave plantation to literally free other creole from slavery. Her parents are full African decent from Ghana. Aka ewe/Togo. She was born into slavery owned by the founder of Natchitoches. Her spouse was a French man which they had 10 kids together. My ancestry goes back to the 1400s but I just recently found this put about this woman. I am of french/creole/african/Scottish and native decent. Originated from west Africa. Oh they also created the first town and church for creoles in Natchitoches. I must say it's an amazing feeling knowing I come from a line of people that truly made an impact in the world. I will walk around so proudly knowing my grandma made such an impact on my fellow creoles

Wow ! I am Haitian and I do understand. Mesi se’m . N’a we si ravine pa desan

I want to meet that lady her creole is close to the mauritian creole... but I'm from La Reunion ma compri toute cet lo femm té pou di

I am feom the Seychelles and so beautiful to hear a language which is close to mine and of which i can understand too, from another part of the world...

I'm Creole and now I FINALLY know where I get my fast-talking from! Merci, Madame Jones! 💜🖤🧿

I speak Haitian Creole and I understand most of what she said.

I am mad this wasn’t made the main language how beautiful it would be to speak creole and English. I only speak a little that we use normally. Other than that man it’s beautiful

I understand everything. ❤ from France

I m from Belgium and I sometimes need to read the subtitles but overall I can understand. it's extraordinary😍

Thanks for this great video :) . Greetings from Reunion Island !

Sounds a lot like the "pautwa" I listened to on the island of Dominica. French creole of the Caribbean. 🥰

Now I have to go refresh my memory on the history of why so many people in Louisiana speak Creole! How beautiful it is to be bi-lingual.

Heyy Mama i am from Mauritius island ..i speak creole and i understand you so clear ..keepit up Love ya

I am from the Island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean and I could understand her creole well.

Créole et Cajun, bravo à vous tous.. ♥️♥️

My grandmother and most of her children (except the last two) could speak creole very well. I always wanted learn, but didn't hear it often enough. Studying French now though bc it's as close to learning creole as I'll ever get. I hope the beautiful creole language doesn't die out.

I'm Creole. My Great-grandmother was from Napoleonville, LA and my Great-grandfather was from Donaldsonville, LA. Unfortunately I never met them as they both died before I was born. My grandma, whose from Cleveland, OH decided she didn't want to learn the language or the culture. So now I'm stuck trying to learn it on my own
