We are as unique as our dialect suggests, we are Cajuns. We are a very small ethnic group that is primarily concentrated in Southern Louisiana. Our ancestors were exiled from Acadie, France by way of genocide (1755-1785)Families were tragically seperated, or killed. Acaidians what are now known widely as Cajuns have a tragic and complex history you should read more about.
The word Cajun comes from the French pronunciation of Acadian which is A-Cad-jin or Cajin which then became Cajun, -
An ethnic group mainly living in Louisiana, mostly constituting descendants of Acadian exiles (French-speaking settlers from Acadia, New Brunswick or Nova Scotia, in maritime provinces in Canada). Today, the Cajuns make up a significant portion of south Louisiana's population, and have exerted a great impact on the state's culture.

-
Member of a culture prevalent from Southwestern Mississippi, throughout Southern Louisiana, and Southeast Texas, descended from the [Acadian] French settlers of east-central Canada who were driven out by military means.
We are normally gregarious and friendly. but apparently the only [Frenchmen] who still are good at fighting and do fight when called on (or called out). We have great taste in food, somewhat less good taste in music (according to our non-Cajun friends, who apparently are not fond of waltzes or [accordion] instrumentals).
There are so many Cajuns because Cajun-ness is a cultural matter more than a genetic one. People whose ancestors were here BEFORE the Cajun migration (such as Louisiana Germans and the original French settlers) have assimillated into the culture, as have Jews, Arabs, Serbs, Croats, Englishmen (an entire [warship] full of them who [shipwrecked] in Dularge, Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana and decided life was better there than back home), Italians, Spanish, African-Americans, and other nationalities. Most natives of South Louisiana self-identify as Cajuns.
These people are steadfast friends, fearsome enemies, hard partiers, expert hunters and fishermen and avid drinkers. For decades, the unofficial motto of the state, [Sportsmans] Paradise has emblazoned Louisiana licence plates due to Cajun prowess in shooting, hooking, [netting] and cooking wild game and fish. -
A member of any of the largely self-contained communities in the bayou areas of southern Louisiana formed by descendants of French Canadians, speaking an archaic form of French.
-
a person who lives in the US state of Louisiana and whose relations in the past were French-speaking Canadians
-
A group of the [toughest] people I have ever met in my entire life. [Texans] have [nothing on] these people. They cook great food, friendly for the most part, unless you piss them off. Typically found in Louisiana.
