Analysis shows Louisiana Creole emerged in the 18th century as a lingua franca among French slavers, colonists, enslaved West Africans, and free people of color, with vocabulary from French but distinctive grammar and structure shaped by multilingual forced contact.

“Everybody is learning approximations of French and then approximations of approximations. Quite quickly, a new language is born.”
