Since there is CAJUN English, I'm curious as to whether or not there is ACADIAN English. Remember, Cajun French and Acadian French aren't the same dialect. Logically, the same would apply to English. Gringo300 02:55, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

What's your POINT?CharlesMartel 17:03, 17 March 2007 (UTC)CharlesMartel

I made my point exactly. Now do you have anything positive to contribute? Gringo300 19:40, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

As a Louisiana native, I can tell you that there's no such thing as Acadian English that I'm aware of. I really don't think that Cajun English is an official term for the slang/dialect that some people speak in south Louisiana, but it is starting to become one. Basically Cajun English could be described as being similar to Frananglais, except that Cajun French itself is somewhat different from proper French, in that Cajun French is a older French. It's kind of like speaking Shakesperean English. Cajun English mainly Southern American English with all of its slang terms and accents mixed with this older French and its slang and French accent.
