Creole Cultural News flash: On est toujours icitte! Doesnt this sound and look familiar? And, guess what? Missouri French is very much like Louisiana French bc Upper Louisiana & Lower Louisiana were together once as part of la Nouvelle France (the great Louisiana Purchase Territory), long before the arrival of the Acadians and like us, their culture language was Creole & Metis French and not the Lafayette fiction of an Acadian-based culture.
