Pointe Coupee Parish is situated on the west bank of the Mississippi, upriver from Baton Rouge. While the oxbow lake known as False River attracts many vacationers, Pointe Coupee differs from Grande Isle in being situated squarely in Louisiana’s plantation country, with an economy that was traditionally based on the cultivation of sugarcane and cotton. As in other plantation regions of francophone Louisiana, Louisiana Creole had a strong foothold in Pointe Coupee, and while Louisiana Regional French (see Klingler 2009) and Plantation Society French (see for example Picone and Valdman 2005) were surely once spoken there, by the 1990s Creole was the only French-related variety still in use by natives of the parish, including African American, whites, and “Creoles of color” (Klingler 2003a). Today the language is severely threatened with extinction, as most remaining speakers are elderly and Creole is not being transmitted to younger generations. In recent decades, however, there have been attempts to revive the language, including the formation of a group called “Les Créoles de Pointe Coupée” whose mission is to create new speakers of the language. In this presentation, we report on our efforts to determine how many Creole speakers remain in the area, how attitudes towards the language have evolved since Klingler’s 2003 study, and what effect language preservation efforts have had.
