The Other Island: The Islenos of St. Bernard

Like French, Spanish has been spoken in Louisiana for centuries, albeit by a smaller population, notably including the Islenos of St. Bernard Parish. In this special Spanish-language episode with French and English subtitles, we spoke with several of the handful of remaining speakers of this unique dialect of Spanish inherited from the Canary Islands.
