Cajun
If a person is said to have Cajun descent, that person is believed to be descended from the Cajuns of Louisiana. These are French-speaking people who came to live in the backwoods of Louisiana after being forcibly removed from the former French colony of Acadia (in what is now Canada) after the French and Indian War in the 1740s.

Cajun French is a mixture of French and the native tongue of the Indians living in Louisiana during the French and Indian war. After the Louisiana Purchase, people in that region still kept the language alive (and Cajun is spoken all over Louisiana). (I have heard that Cajun is such a mixture, that many native French speakers have trouble picking up what is spoken.) --shel
