Is there anyone on this forum who can recommend a book or site or help me out with plantation creole touched with French, dating from the 1780s?
I am working on a novel set in the mid-1780s in New Orleans. My strength is knowing the complicated history of the time and place, but I am weak in the mixed languages spoken at the time. I need a correct few sentences expressing that a young woman of color believes that she has seen the Devil.
I have someone who can help with the French, but am at a loss for the plantation creole.
I do not want to do large amounts of dialect, because my readers will have trouble following it, but would like to do a sentence here and there for flavor.
