Cajun (English spelling)

Japanese: ケージャン(英語表記)Cajun
Cajun (English spelling)
A minority cultural group in the United States, the French residents living in southwestern Louisiana. The name Cajun comes from the anglicization of the French word Acadien, which means Acadian, which became Cajin. The first French people to settle in Acadia, a region in southeastern Canada, in 1604 were expelled in the 18th century during the colonial conflict between England and France (the Seven Years' War). After moving from place to place, they settled in the Louisiana marshes, which were then a French colony. Even after the region was annexed by the United States, they maintained their unique culture in isolation from the surrounding area.

Japanese:
アメリカの少数文化集団の一つで,ルイジアナ州南西部に住むフランス系住民。ケージャンの呼称は,アカディア人を意味するフランス語のアカディアンAcadienがなまってカジャンCajinとなったものをさらに英語式にしたところからきている。1604年最初にカナダ南東部アカディア(地方)に入植したフランス人が,18世紀に英仏間の植民地紛争(七年戦争)のあおりで追放され,各地を転々としたあげく当時フランス植民地だったルイジアナ低湿地帯に住みつき,同地域がアメリカに併合ののちも,周囲から孤立して独自の文化を保ってきた。
