This CD-ROM allows students (as well as instructors and researchers) to examine the content, style, and linguistic structure of a language that has never been recorded and distributed in such a manner. The CD brings together 35 transcribed texts totaling 155 pages from which there are over 100 minutes of oral excerpts, some from interviews recorded on site, others from radio archives. The whole collection covers the speech of 32 localities in 13 parishes of the French-speaking Triangle of Louisiana.

Staff from the Indiana University Creole Institute generated lists of all the words which appear in the corpus, as well as concordances that show occurrences of a word accompanied by a brief context. These concordances facilitate the discovery of the words that commonly occur with the target word. TLTC staff members worked to integrate the audio clips, text transcripts, word lists, and concordances into the program.
