Cajun Language

The Cajun language was the tongue of the Cajun people, who scattered around the Mississippi sea after their diaspora from their sunken homeland following the Great Flood.

Cajun was unique in that it was the only language of the Frensh language family to be spoken south of the Great Lakes, the reasons for this remain unknown. The language was the standard tongue of the Cajun League and its various member cities.

Cajun took a number of influences from their Dixie speaking neighbors, but was also strikingly common, though less harsh sounding, than the Canuck languages of the far north.
