Public Comment
Census figures that put the number of Louisiana Creole French at just over 6,000 are severely inaccurate. Many speakers of Creole identify themselves as simply French speakers on the census. There has also been a history of discrimination against speakers of Creole, and many are hesitant to identify themselves as speakers of Creole.
