OK, cool it.

Racist shit aside, language is dynamic. And as its corollary, a language cut off from its roots becomes very conservative and changes little. That is why Shakespeare read in a West Virginian "Appalachian" accent is remarkable similar to Elizabethan English. Also why Quebecois francophones can barely understand Parisians, Cajuns or Senegalese. Canadian French is pretty damn close to pre revolutionary French both in grammar and vocabulary.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk. lmao

Damn Jen, didn't you know?

*NOBODY* can understand Cajuns.

Their French is even worse than their English.

But it's a beautiful deep drawl that's slow enough to pick the Latin out of it to catch some meaning. They're usually showing you something, too. That helps communicate, too.

I actually enjoy American regional dialects, at least deep rural regions. Don't care for any city talk or tv mimics. I enjoyed reading Uncle Remus, and liked reading Jorje Curioso to preschool Guatemalans and let them giggle and correct my pronunciations.
