Southern Pembrokeshire settled with French in 12th century

What if the Norman-era settlement of Southern Pembrokeshire with Englishmen and Flemings had instead been carried out with French peasants from the continental possessions of the Angevin Empire?

If the colonisation had happened with peasants speaking medieval French, would an oil language be spoken there today, and if so what would it have been called?

If it had happened with Bretons, would a 'Pembrokeshire Breton' emerge, or would the Bretons rapidly assimilate and learn Welsh due to the two languages' closeness?

I don't know much about the history of the Marcher Lords, but I bet that most of the French settlers would have been assimilated into the English/Southern Welsh culture eventually.
