>The very video you link to calls Quebec French "Joual". Not all Québec french is "Joual" FYI. Also there is nothing credible that makes Parisian French[1] the official correct one. The academy can prescribe all it wants, it doesn't mean it has to be followed. Language belongs to and is made by the people, not by Coanan the grammarian at the Académie.[2] If linguists want to study it and create dictionaries, and descriptive grammars, great. But I don't care to listen to them once they start to prescribe: don't tell us how to speak. [1] Which one anyway, St. Denis accent is 'Parisian'. [2] There are studies demonstrating that in mixed language environments, it is the second generation children who 'creolize' the mostly unstructured pidgin spoken by their elders. This creole has fixed grammatical rules and is the beginnings of a new language.
