Dictionnaire Etymologique, Historique Et Compare Du Francais de Louisiane

This work stands out as one of the most prominent differential dictionaries documenting French varieties outside of France. To better understand the historical link between Louisiana French and the rest of the French-speaking world, it investigates the origin of each of the 976 lemmas by drawing comparisons with other North American varieties of French, dialects of France, as well as French Creoles.
