Some of the older people speak a Cajun French along with speaking English. Both of my parents can speak Cajun French fluently but only use it if they are around old people. The language is definitely dying off. I dont know any people under the age of 50 that speak it. I grew up hearing it all my life but have only managed to pick up a few words. I was born near Lafayette, LA but have lived near Lake Charles, LA for 15 years now.

Most people who live in Louisiana speak English and there's probably a minor percentage of inhabitants who speak some Acadian or Creole languages, but they probably also speak English as well. Although originally associated with France, Louisiana has been in American state since the 19th century and its present day residents speak English (although many with a distinct dialect) just as the residents of any other U.S. state.
