I'm aware of the existence of the Chiac dialect, but I don't know much about it. Could someone please explain how prevalent it is, and how it differs from other French dialects?

I heard people talk Chiac in New-Brunswick but I won't even try to explain anything about it as I had hard times understanding what people where saying, while I'm fluent french and québecois ;) – LudoMC Sep 1 '11 at 17:01

@LudoMC since you're the closest, please go back there and make a full investigation, thanks! – Joubarc Sep 2 '11 at 13:44
@Joubarc I'm living in Monaco, so 6 000 kms from Chiac speaking people! I just go in QC/NB at least once a year for 20 yrs :) – LudoMC Sep 2 '11 at 16:27

Wikipedia. It seems to be a recent creole of French and English in use in a specific region of Canada, and totally unknown where I am.
