In Quebec, we don't speak "real" French. We speak much more than that. We speak Quebecois - a living, gut feeling language that includes the modern French one finds in Larousse, plus thousands of words and expressions that have flourished during the three hundred years our fore-bearers settled along the St. Lawrence, hunted and plowed their way through Amerindian territory, survived British colonialism and gave us a sole inheritance a national identity, and with it a language our very own way of saying, for instance, it's raining (i mouille), stop bugging me (achale-moue pas) and I love you a lot (ch't'aime en titi). In this work Leandre Bergeron has gathered together over 6,000 of the most popular words and expressions so that English speakers can discover and enjoy Quebecois- the "real" language of Quebec. And now, let the Quebecois words sing in your ears.

"Monsieur Picard, who has previously written about the etymologies of the French migrants who settled Quebec and Acadia in the 17th and 18th centuries, now follows the spread of those surnames to various English-speaking parts of North America. Besides its derivations and Anglicizations, this resource references the first French-Canadian settlers bearing the names found in the dictionary. Professor Picard explains the development of French-Canadian surnames and their subsequent Americanization, along with a discussion of the various kinds of Anglicization, direct translations, partial translation, and mistranslations of French into English. Each of the thousands of entries in the dictionary contains two parts. The first of these is onomastic in nature, providing the etymology of the surname and any Americanized variants from which they stem. The second part contains some or all of the following information: the name of the first French-Canadian bearer of the name, the name of his parents, his place of origin in France, the name of his spouse and the names of her parents, and the place of his marriage"--Provided by publisher.
