I guess in Brussels "bilingual" would mostly refer to Dutch/French, for example. I'd expect that it refers to English/French in at least some parts of Canada. Louisiana too, I would expect. French is not a language used in Louisiana. They use a patois called "Cajun" which probably wouldn't be classified as French any longer (although much of it betrays its obvious French roots). Cajun has strayed even further from the French of Montclam's day than has Quebecoise. Still, I suppose it's arguable whether Cajun is a dialect of French or a distinct language. ************* DAVE HATUNEN ) ************* * Tucson Arizona, out where the cacti grow * * My typos & mispellings are intentional copyright traps * |
