Did the English Normans speak Cajun?

[Victor Schneider, Ph. D.]

Has it ever occurred to anyone that the Normans who ruled England must
have been speaking Canadian French?

Case in point: The English word "strait" derives from the Medieval
French "estroit", which must have been pronounced very close to
"strait", Canadian-style so that it passed over into English that way.
The only question is whether the Cajuns of the U. S. South, who share
vocabulary with Canadians, but don't want to be known as Normans, also
really pronounce étroit to rhyme with strait.
