Ville Platte speaks French but is not Acadian

Ville Platte and the Evangeline Parish area never was.  I keep saying that and whenever I see something interesting I'll share it.  I was browsing the Net for something unrelated to Louisiana French language and came across this book that has an interesting chapter:

Chapter 11. “Cajun” French in a non-Acadian community. A phonological study of the French of Ville Platte, Louisiana by Thomas A. Klinger and Chantal Lyche

It can be found in this book:

Phonological Variation in French: Illustrations from three continents edited by Randall Gess, Chantal Lyche, Trudel Meisenburg 

John Benjamins Publishing, Dec 6, 2012

Great stuff.  I read some of it on Google books and got lost when they started getting deep into linguistic stuff.  I have no idea what they're talking about.  I did, however, understand the history and sociology stuff written at the beginning of chapter 11.  Google those words and find it on Google books to read some of it.  I was looking into Avoyelles Parish being designated as a French Creole parish and Evangeline being designated as a French Creole/Cajun mix.  That's interesting stuff in itself.  OK.  The genealogists, sociologists/anthropologists, historians, linguistic type people and old school Evangeline Parish people all say that Acadian and Cajun is a new thing around here.  It's a make believe tourism trick because Acadian and Cajun is a good seller.  If only real history would make money, then you would see Creole meat stores and Creole hamburgers, Creole Fries, etc, etc.
