@et_deaux: Replying to @Em Geezy hope this helps you understand how we talk down here in the bayou. It’s called a Yat accent. And our dialect comes from multiple cultures!
People used to ask my mom where she’s from bc of the yat accent. They used to think Boston. You gotta know when to code switch. I have 3 codes

That Yat accent is strong in the river parishes. Especially on the east bank of St James St John and St Charles.

Our yat speak is our culture. It’s a mixture of all the different cultures that have come from our giant melting pot of a city.
