Carolinian French

Carolinan French (français carolinien) refers to the varities of the French language that are spoken across Carolina. The language is most concentrated in Haute Carolina (Lower Carolina), especially in the states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina where there has been limited American immigration. However, the language is spoken widespread across Carolina and in some border states of the United States.

French was first introduced to Carolina in the Caroline Colony in present-day South Carolina. The language was eventually widespread across most of modern-day Carolina west of the Appalachian Mountains after Caroline fell to the Aranese. During British and American control over the Carolinian region, English, French, along with Occitan, and Catalan blended to form the Creole language which has come to be known as Carolinian French.
