About Louisiana Créole: The Louisiana Creole language is perhaps unique
among Louisiana's heritage languages in the extent to which its use historically transcended barriers of race and
socio-economic status.
At its height, Louisiana Creole was spoken throughout South Louisiana by members of the most elite families and members of the most
marginalized communities. The features of Louisiana Creole, perhaps more so than those of any other language, speak to the unique
history and culture of Louisiana.

French and English of historic places in New Orleans. He is also a teacher of French as a foreign language. He is trained in linguistics
having graduated in 2012 in French, linguistics and German. He has devoted his career to the defence of the heritage languages of
