I'm not talking about modern shitskin immigration, I mean what are some long-present ethnic minorities within your country's borders?
Of course America has its natives, and if you have some uninspiring leftist version of ethnicity we've got thousands, but the best example would be Cajuns who live in Louisiana and Texas. They still speak French and are typically Catholic, in contrast to the typical Anglo-Protestant norm of North America. They showed up as exiled Acadians with French colonists back when they actually had colonies here.

Quilombolas
Back when there was still slavery people fled to isolated negro-only communities, usually in the state of Bahia. A hundred and fifty years later, there still are people living in those communities; speaking Portuguese but practicing African religions.
Never been there but must be weird as shit.

Depends on where you go. The biggest culture concentrates in my state, Louisiana, is in the Southwest part of the state and the parishes nearest the gulf.
In Louisiana, parishes are used in place of counties, but it's the same thing. St. Martin Parish is where I grew up.
It is more common with the older folks, but in recent times, the younger kids are starting to pick it up with preservation efforts. I'm 21, and people around my generation speak French at an intermediate level, like me.

What about street and stop signs?
Are you learning standard French, or your own native dialect?
How different is the dialect from standard French?
>>72583164
Street signs are all in English, there are a few Parish signs, welcome signs, placards on churches with English and French, but it isn't widespread.
I speak my regional colonial French dialect, but I am taking French classes in standard French, so do most people with the revival classes.
Not too different, however people don't have a heavy standard French accent, it sounds very American, also with some words being switched to English. There are also African and native American influences. Not to be confused with the Louisiana Creole language of heavy African and Amerindian influences. The creole version is spoken mainly in slave descended communities, and blacks.
