Resources on Canadian French
As much as I discuss the North American French origins of Chinook Jargon words, I should share the best resource I’ve found.
It’s called Lexilogos: Dictionnaire québécois.
At their site, you’ll find dozens of links to dictionaries, scholarly books online, research papers, and more.
Lexilogos is the single finest tool I know for research into North American French.
If you know of further resources, please leave a comment below.
Wow. Merci.

Besides the above-mentioned, I make a lot of use of the “Dictionary of Louisiana French”, the “Glossary of Mississippi French”, Allard & Laverdure’s Michif dictionary, and a big thick Petite Larousse.
