Heritage languages mold the existence of the United States of America. According to Dr. Carreira, people speak over 350 languages other than English at home. And more than 67 million people speak a heritage language in the United States.
Louisiana Creole (Kouri-Vini) is a heritage language presumed native to Louisiana. The Creole language formed between the contact of European colonizers, the enslaved population, and Indigenous Peoples. Louisiana Creole continued to develop throughout the 1700s and beyond.
