Alexandria Town Talk article on Evangeline Parish:
Short quotes from Town Talk article:
"In Evangeline Parish, probably, the French-speaking people, probably 80 percent of them came from France. And maybe 20 percent came from Canada, and they were Acadians. That's why technically we're not Cajuns," he said."
"I mean, people in St. Martinville and those places, they speak a very weird kind of French," he said, adding, "I think it's because we are French descendants, and we're not Cajuns."
