      There is very little French spoken in Louisiana. There’s more creole, but it’s still single digit percentages. It is not common and their curriculums are certainly not in French.

      The entire towns website for Berlin, NH is in English: https://www.berlinnh.gov/. There’s not even a French translation.

      I think you are severely overestimating the prevalence of French as an official language in North America - and even as a lingua Franca.

      You’re confusing all French together like it’s one monolithic language and everyone speaks the same dialect.

      It’s like saying English in Scotland, in Australia, in Texas, or whatever are all the same.

      They all have their district differences.

      The same with Québec French. It’s not France French.

      And they all have distinct cultures and music genres and poetry and literature and art that make up the whole local culture.

      That’s what you don’t seem to understand in this whole thing.
