What is the Cajun word for girl?

There isn't a specific Cajun word for "girl" in the same way there is for "boy" (which is "garçon").

Cajun French, like many dialects, often uses more general terms for gender. They would likely use the French word "fille" (pronounced "fee") or "jeune fille" (pronounced "zhuh-n fi") which translates to "young girl".

It's also possible they'd use the more informal "petite" (pronounced "puh-teet") or "la petite" (pronounced "la puh-teet") which means "little one" or "the little one" and often refers to a young girl.
