Dialects, Newfoundland and Labrador

With more dialects of English than anywhere in North America, it’s safe to say we have a way with words. Our fascinating mosaic of phrases, accents, and words help make our speech as colourful as the land where it is spoken.

I thought the woman in the video was Irish, it was only when she said Newfoundland that I realized she wasn't.

Naaaa, it sounded much more North American. However if you listen to an old Newfoundler on another link, then it really sounds Irish.

Peculiar that the person talking about being proud of the Newfoundland dialect is using a suppressed Newfoundland dialect.
