Hello,

The article I mentioned is :
'Old Mines, Missouri, et la survivance du francais
dans la haute vallee du Mississippi'
par C. Thogmartin
in 'le francais hors de France'
sous la direction de A. Valdman
Editions Honore Champion, 1979

Funny to see that the French creoles in America (West
Indies, Guyana, Haiti) still use maringouin
(maregwen/mayengwen) for mosquito, whereas the French
creoles in the Indian Ocean use moustique (moustik).

Best from freezing Paris, Yann
