		In its second meaning, "Chiac" has come to refer to a vernacular French mixed with English, spoken as a dominant language in the Acadian community, 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.
		However, Chiac has been reclaimed in recent years by some Acadian groups as a living and evolving language, and part of their collective culture.

	Mixed language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		A mixed language is a language that arises when two languages are in contact and there is a high degree of bilingualism among speakers.
		A mixed language may be said to evolve from persistent code-switching and indeed language names like "Spanglish" are often given to persistent code-switiching long before it is clear that a genuine mixed language has evolved.
		Usually a mixed language appears to be a marker of a new cultural/ethnic group (metis, immigrant or similar).
