With each generation and with each passing day, we grow closer
to losing a key part of our nation's unique heritage-the Cajun
French language. Unless a concerted effort is made to preserve the
language, this rich and vibrant culture will soon be relegated to
the back pages of history. "Cajun Vocabulation" is one such labor
of love-one man's attempt to preserve the unique heritage of his
South Louisiana home.
"Cajun Vocabulation" is a dictionary and pronunciation guide for
one of the major dialects of Cajun French. Author Gordon J. Voisin
interviewed more than one hundred native speakers in order to
create this unique cultural artifact. He not only presents the
basics of the language; he does so without sacrificing any of the
zest and humor for which Cajuns are famous. The words are written
phonetically, so even those with little knowledge of Cajun French
will quickly learn to approximate its unique sound.
Engage with a vital and colorful part of American heritage with
"Cajun Vocabulation."
