In this video we discuss the Brayon and Chiac varieties of French. These are spoken in the province of New Brunswick in Canada, which is a bilingual province.. We give an overview of both varieties, sound differences typical of Brayon from Standard French, then go over sentences in both varieties, do a guessing game of Brayon or Chiac?, and end off with a Question of the Day..

Question of the day?
For French speakers or those who have learned it, can you understand Chiac or Brayon?
If you speak Quebec, Acadian or Louisiana French, can you notice the differences between Brayon French and your variety?
If you mix two languages, like Portunol, Singlish, or Spanglish, what do you think of Chiac?
