I just wasn’t sure if I wasn’t understanding certain words because they were, in fact, different, or due to my loss of vocabulary. Indeed, the reader had a very strong American accent, which is why I inferred that he’s not actually a French speaker at all (though when I lived in Mexico, an American friend of mine spoke fluent Spanish with the heaviest Southern Texas accent you’ve ever heard – it was a hoot! – so anything’s possible, I guess). As for finding stuff on the web, I don’t have time now to check any of the links, but there may be something of interest to you here, where there’s a Cajun French dictionary, as well as other language links… [http://www.cajunculture.com/LinkLang.htm](http://www.cajunculture.com/LinkLang.htm) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/vrai-ou-no/169899.md?page=1)
