The New York Times rediscovered and published the 91-year-old recording on October 30, 2026, bringing attention to the vanishing language and its historical roots in slavery and French colonialism.

“The rediscovery of a forgotten recording from 1935 sheds light on a language rooted in the state's history of slavery and French colonialism.”
