Feel free to look up other french/cajun endearments and swears. Babel fish is good for translating whole blocks of text if you want to him to ramble on ticked off in French. Remy is of course a very intelligent and sauve man he will try and charm his way out of anything so everything he says he means and has thought out. Don't forget to italicize anything french.
 
Have you tried googling things like 'cajun dialect' and 'writing cajun' yet? It might sound obvious, but a quick search reveals there's lots of info on words, expressions, phonetic spellings, etc., out there, if you're willing to do a bit of research.
 
IM Havieng trouble finding any thing USe Full But Im Looking But in till than i Would welcome all Help.

I was stationed in Louisiana for a while...
Talking like a cajun is along the lines of having a mouthful of marbles. As long as NO ONE has any fucking clue what you're saying, you're on the right track.
 
Frankly, there's not much on the internet, but I did find these these sites:

If you don't mind investing a bit of cash, these books are available from Amazon:

Cajun Self Taught: Learning to Speak the Cajun Language
A Dictionary of the Cajun Language
(both of these are written by Rev. Jules O. Daigle)
