As for the primary language of Acadians being French, Acadian, or Chiac, I disagree. I would say that English is their primary language and Acadian or Chiac is their mother tongue.
What are you basing that on? Many Acadians speak English in the workplace (or have a call center job where they're expected to communicate to callers in either language), but their primary language (i.e. the language they speak at home with friends/family) is French.
