These Newfoundland videos keep popping up in my algorithm, to my Aussie ears their accent sounds like Irish with a touch of Canadian and southern USA mixed in. Fascinating.
Newfoundland, like New England dialects, has a bit of Quebecois undertones mixed in from geographic proximity (and the Quebecois often moved/traveled for work, back in another time they would often fill in for union workers funny enough given current Quebecois culture). They're separated by a huge band of mainly various ethnically British settled areas, but the south-eastern US and especially the Bayou areas also have a degraded French accent/expression from mainly French immigrant descendants gradually becoming Anglophones after the Louisiana purchase (Louisiana territory was much larger than the state is now). So it's probably a distant French influence that you're recognizing as the common element.
@@danielwillenburg6847Interesting observation, you are right. As a Québequise French speaker I can definitely tell you that when Newfoundlanders speak (especially him) the cadence is Québequise.
Nah that's irish and straight old canadian accent mixed in I don't hear bastardized French accent(quebecois) in there at all I hear Irish and scottishesque mixed with mid Ontario farmer
Translation: “Here we are skipper, all the way from Newfoundland up the southern shore. A dandy old foggy day here, I’d say you’re well accustomed to that over your way. Little bit of the seas rolling in on the beach sure. Not a good day for some things, but a grand day for other things!”
I'm not trying to berude or anything but, I understood him. Being Irish it blows my mind that I didn't find it any more difficult than when I lived in Cork. I've been fascinated by the mix of Irish phrases, slang and accents combined with Canadian (I think) accents. The world is gas craic altogether 😊
@@lellyt2372 I'm an immigrant who moved to Cork two months ago and I had a bit of difficulties understanding people here for the first week. I got used to it but still couldn't understand the video. 😅
I’m a Newfoundlander who lived on the southern shore when I was a child. I took for granted that some people might not understand him. This is not a very thick accent compared to some other parts of Newfoundland! Loves it
Yes, it's near a place called Erinsville in southeastern Ontario where a lot of Irish settled in the 19th century. The Gaeltacht was formally opened in 2007 by Ireland's Ambassador to Canada.
And Scottish Gaelic too, especially on Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia. Even the name Nova Scotia tells you in Latin for English translation New Scotland. When the British soldiers kicked out all the French Acadians the British Government replaced them with Scottish settlers from the High Lands and with German settlers and of course the English settlers.
It's also the only place outside of Ireland with a name in Irish that is completely unconnected to the English name - Newfoundland is "Talamh an Éisc" which means "Land of the Fish"!
I'm Irish and living in Canada at the moment. I definitely have to go before I move home, the Newfoundland accent is the most interesting thing ive come across recently it's so uncanny how close it is to Irish
Maybe 10-20 years ago but I visited nfld last year and it's not much different than any other place in the world. Mass immigration has erased newfoundland's unique charm
This is fricking amazing 🤩 I am from County Antrim and my granny from Dublin. I always loved her accent! The Newfoundland accent is absolutely brilliant!!!
I had a family doctor from Ireland. His wife was from Newfoundland. He used to tell me that when he visited her family, the locals just thought he was one of the "Bay Bays!!"
@@gotpwnednubs89 he said here he is in newfoundland. Its a foggy but he is sure they are accustomed to that from where they are from. And that the sea is coming up the beach. I cant say it word for word because on the youtube app, the video stopped when i go to type and i cant remember it
Lived with Newfoundlanders in Alberta Canada for years. They came down to work in the oil. Best people ever. If you don’t understand them, you learn quickly their kindness.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
True dat. From south of St. John's right down the southern shore (eastern avalon), then back west and north to the Trans Canada highway... Is known as the Irish loop. Most of them small town country bayman are of Irish descendants.
It's weird hearing Irish English in that it sounds, to my ear, like someone speaking from St. John's. I have to tell myself that, no, they are not from the Rock but the Emerald Isle.
Even ten years ago I was hearing Newfoundlanders say please don't use the word 'Newfie' as it has too much bad baggage. I guess maybe as time goes by and new generations grow up maybe it's losing some of its negative baggage.
I swear to ya, ya won't be disappointed. I fell in love with this place, the people, the way of life, the hospitality, the names of some of the towns, (hearts content, hearts desire, placenta Bay, dildo, had to get a photo with the last sign 😉, it's a cross between "Northern Exposure & the beech combers", don't know if you're old enough to remember them programmes from the 80s. But, I suggest going for 10 days, hire a car, & drive the coastline around the entire island. You won't need to book hotels or anything, just pull in whenever ya want, and ask a local for a hotel or a bnb. You won't go wrong. 👍😉🇮🇪
Irish here, no he doesn't maybe to you because he has a bit of an Canadian twang to the mostly Irish accent but Irish people have more ease picking up on Irish accents
My sister is from St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, and her husband is from London, England. They raised their children in Virginia. You can imagine the blend of dialects!😅😅😅
I love me Newfie neighbours! I’d gladly trade all I have, to own a home in the beautiful Newfoundland and Labrador! I feel I was a Newf, accidentally brought to Ontario. That saddens me to no end!
@@davyholden fun fact the land area of just Newfoundland and Labrador is still bigger than all of the UK combined. The country is nonsensically big lol!
I'm Australian, I was shocked when I visited Ireland and how certain words sounded emphatically (North) American, but then I thought about it, it's the other way around, those American words are actually Irish pronunciations.
From Nova Scotia here, Cape Breton Island to be exact. Lots of Irish and Scottish settlers here as well. And now I know why we have a town called New Waterford. Oh and we have the accents as wells bie!
Can confirm. A couple times now I've heard from an actual Irish person visiting Nfld that they thought people there were mocking the Irish accent, but in fact it's actually how they talk, particularly around the Southern Shore and some other regions.
I’m a Glaswegian and I understood him with a bit of effort. As I understand it, a lot of Scottish people emigrated to Canada too. From the highland clearances to people looking for a better life in times of economic hardship. A great aunt, uncle and their family (paternal grandmother’s side) emigrated to Canada. One of their sons became a board member of the Coca-Cola company in Canada.
I’m from the Maritimes but I lived in Newfoundland for a bit. When I first arrived I spoke to people that I couldn’t believe were Canadian. When they told me the town they were from I’d reply “in Ireland?”.
Not everyone on the Rock sounds like they are Irish. But most of us, slip back into our accents when we are around fellow Islanders, no matter where we currently live in Canada. I shocked my husband, the first time he saw me among my family. He barely understood what we were saying. After he lived there for 8 months, he had many of the slang phrases down pat. Hilarious to hear a West African talk the slang with a Newfoundland accent.
I collected a black family, mother and two sons off the bus with a friend one day, they were from Tanzania, when they landed in Ireland they stuck them in the gaeltacht, no English what so ever, that was a surreal experience 😂
I live in Nova Scotia where we get a bit more to the Scottish side and when my Venezuelan cousins came up as children they didn’t understand a damn word, LMAO.
Not from Newfoundland but am Canadian and have known lots. Heres a cute story: i was having some tests done at my local hospital and they were being done by an RT. I knew him from work (im an RN) but had never talked to him for any length of time, but during the tests we had lots of time to chat. After a while, i asked him where he was from in Ireland. (My grandmother's family were from County Cork). He laughed and told me he was from Newfoundland!! But he told me not to feel bad since he'd gone to Ireland not long before for a holiday, and NO one in Ireland realised he was from Newfoundland. Everyone thought he was from some place in Ireland.
People who are intrigued by the accent should try to find the TV show "Republic of Doyle" which was filmed on Newfoundland. When I first watched the show I kept looking up the actors to see where they were from because they sounded so Irish, I was convinced it was filmed in Ireland pretending to be Canada. It's a pretty good introduction to the accent and not a bad show. After a season of the show you'll have no problem understanding these guys. I've been trying to get better at distinguishing UK and Irish accents and I was trying to find an Ulster accent example and UA-cam gave me this video for some reason.
My dads family is from Newfoundland, spent a lot of time there with family. My friends have a hard time understanding a lot of the newfie slang we speak. 😂
