Accents and Dialects

Both Quebecois and Haitian creole derive from French, but they evolved separately. The Haitian strand has been influenced by the language and pronounciation of slaves, while Canadian French could be related more to 17-century French, keeping to this day many French words that were lost in mainland French. For us (mainland) French, we don't consider Canadian French as a dialect but just as (a good) French language, in the same way we would for other regional variations.

A given language, such as English, tends to develop regional accents because of a phenomenon formally known as linguistic drift. People talk to other people in their vicinity much more than they talk to more distant people. Small changes enter a language at random, or because someone thinks it is easier, or sounds better, to say something in a particular way, and other people imitate what they hear. Everybody learns about language from everybody else; we all try to some degree to sound like the other people we hear. Language slowly changes, it drifts into something new. And each region is drifting in its own direction.
