 Chiac language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chiac is variant of Acadian French mixed with English, spoken as a dominant language in the Acadian community in southeast New Brunswick, especially among youth, near Moncton, Memramcook and Shediac.
It is a relatively more recent evolution of the French language, spurred by exposure to dominant English language media (radio, television, internet) and increased urbanization to Moncton and contact with the dominant Anglophone community in the area since the 1960s especially.
What sets Chiac apart from Acadian French is that it is a vernacular French mixed with English.

 Acadia: Origin of the Word by Bill Casselman
More than half of Canada's present Acadian population of approximately 400,000 have forebears who came from the historic French provinces of Poitou, Aunis, Santonge, and Guyenne.
Like all dialects, Acadian has its own slang, and its own word for this argot, chiac, based on a local pronunciation of Shédiac, an Acadian town in New Brunswick, also famous for its Shediac oysters.
Chiac has plenty of Acadian words from old French dialects, and some North American English borrowings transformed by Acadian French spellings and pronunciations.

Risk of death was low in Chileans beginning antiretroviral therapy in the national expanded access program—if they began with more than 100 CD4 cells/µL. In 2001 Chile started providing antiretrovirals, monitoring, and management of related complications.
Nearly everyone benefiting from this program is enrolled in the Chilean AIDS Cohort (ChiAC), which had 4365 members by the end of 2004.
Almost half of the ChiAC cohort, 47.5%, had AIDS at enrollment, 73.8% had symptoms of HIV infection, 80.2% had a CD4 count below 200 cells/µL, 58.2% had never taken antiretrovirals, and 83.3% were males.
