     group has working in its favor, the higher 
     
     its ethnolinguistic vitality will be. To 
     
     illustrate this point, let us briefly compare 
     
     two Acadian communities quite different from 
     
     one another. Let us take, for example, the 
     
    
   
   
    
     parishes of Mont-Carmel and Rollo Bay. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The Mont-Carmel parish, until ae few 
     
     years ago, was a 100% Acadian community where 
     
     French was spoken in every home. Today the 
     
     situation is about’ the same although there 
     
     are now more families where one of the 
     
     parents is anglophone. The children in these 
     
     particular families generally speak only 
     
    
   
   
    
     English until they attend school. 
     
    
   
   
    
     In a brief historical overview, we can 
     
    
   
   
    
     see that the Mont-Carmel community has had — 
     
    
   
   
    
     many factors under its own control which 
     
     could enhance its chances of continuing to 
     
     exist and develop itself as a French-speaking 
     
    
   
   
    
     Acadian community. It had, for instance, a
