father spoke French. They did not want us to learn French so that we would not be teased at school. Even though we did not speak French we picked up the cajun accent from mom and dad when they spoke English
to us. Cajun people speaking English tend to cut words short and also
sentences.The family background that I came from are Landry, Broussard, Rivette, & Alleman. These family names are all of French Decent. Today schools have French programs so kids can learn French.
My wife's background that she came from are Pitre, Bernard, Hebert &
Granger again all names of French Decent. I'll stop now. This old cajun
just thought maybe some of you may find this interesting. By the way
my wife and I don't think we have an accent.

I guess no one ever thinks they have an accent.
