It’s unfortunately slowly dying as the population ages, but Berlin, NH used to have its own French dialect. You’d still probably be able to speak some outside a church service, but it used to be far more prevalent. I think that’s going to be the case for a lot of New England towns.

It’s still here. When my Memere and Dad get snippy they slip into it. I remember starting high school French in Gorham and being cocky that I knew French. My poor teacher’s resigned sigh when I started babbling away about being my Memere’s petit chou 😁
