I gotta admit, I really couldn't tell you what a creole here sounds like. It's such a small nationality in Louisiana, and the only ones I've ever met were pretty far removed genetically and culturally.

Biggest creole thing you see in Louisiana anymore is the culinary aspect.

Nationality? Dude you need to look up the definition of nationality.

If they were native or naturalized, yes.

It's still a nationality.

You can be of multiple nationalities, right?

Western Arkansas is a mix of mountain/Texas twang.

People from SE Arkansas talk like they're from Mississippi. Lots of wrapping their mOUths arOUnd their OHHHs. I can always tell when somebody is from SE Arkansas.

Now look up the definition of creole.


As far as I know it’s a person born in the new world of European and black descent. By new world I mean born in New Orleans as a slave

People from South Alabama all talk like Foghorn Leghorn and don't pronounce the letter R.

People from North Alabama put Rs where they don't belong. (guilty)'
