Text and/or other creative content from this version of Canarian Americans was copied or moved into Isleños in Louisiana. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

The "Galvestown" section was written in terrible English and full of inexcusable errors[edit]

The editor who created this article cannot be trusted to add content to English Wikipedia that is not full of errors and misinformation. It seems that he can't get anything right. I've removed the "Galveztown" section because he misinterprets the information in his own source, "The Spanish Tradition in Louisiana", by Samuel G. Armistead.

As I mentioned in the edit summary, according to Armistead, the Adaeseños did not speak Nahuatl, they spoke a Spanish dialect with mere borrowings from Nahuatl. One would think that the editor hasn't even read the source he cites (it's the Spanish version, so he should be able to understand it); perhaps that is why he doesn't cite pertinent page numbers.

Also, inexplicably, he confuses "Galveztown" with "Galveston", which is a completely different place in Texas. Carlstak (talk) 17:27, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Odd inclusion of Adaeseños/Sabine River group[edit]

There should be no reason that the "Adaeseños" be included in this article. Frankly it does a disservice to both communities by lumping them together based upon geographic location and they are Spanish-descendant communities. Some individuals of the Sabine River can trace their ancestry to the Canary Islands, but the group is radically different from any of the four Isleño communities that were established in Louisiana in the late 18th century. The Adaeseños arrived at an earlier date from what is today San Antonio; as such, their dialect of Spanish is radically different, their customs are different, their cuisine is different, their folklore is different... I feel that their inclusion in this article is simply based off the fact that John Lipski also appended the Adaeseños to the end of his book The Language of the Isleños: Vestigial Spanish in Louisiana as more of a curiosity as well as mention by Samuel G. Armistead. Amiloshoff (talk) 07:31, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
