What do french Texans speak?

It's important to clarify that there isn't a single "French Texan" language. There are, however, a few possibilities depending on what you're asking:

* French: Some Texans may speak French as a second language, especially in areas with historical French settlements. These areas include:

* The Acadian Coast: This region in Southwest Louisiana and Southeast Texas was settled by Acadians (French Canadians) expelled from Nova Scotia in the 18th century. While most Acadians in Louisiana transitioned to speaking English, some pockets of French speakers still exist in the region.

* Other areas with historical French influence: Smaller French-speaking communities also exist in parts of East Texas due to migration from other parts of the US and Canada.

* Cajun French: This dialect of French is spoken by descendants of Acadians in Louisiana and Southwest Texas. It is distinct from standard French, with its own unique vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation.

* Texas English: While some Texans might speak with a French influence on their English, there is no distinct "French Texan" dialect of English.

It's important to note: The number of French speakers in Texas has significantly declined over the years, and while some communities still maintain their French heritage, it's less common to encounter French speakers in the state compared to previous generations.
