Syzible I'm a Newfoundlander living in Western Canada. When I first moved here I had no idea words I'd use weren't common outside of Newfoundland. We say maid, bird, muss, strill, sleeveen, and niche. All meaning woman, little boy, little girl, and the last two meaning a dirty, unkempt, maybe even sexually promiscuous person. And if someone has messy hair we'd say "clitty" (lol) or that their hair is like "a birch broom gone in the fits". There are a lot of expletives used when we are talking to one another. It wouldn't be uncommon for even the most religious person to say "shit" a lot. Lol. My Nan and Aunt would always call me a "lousy snot of a soul" when I was being a hard ticket when I was a youngster. I miss it so much! I see pictures of Ireland and the landscape is very similar to Newfoundland. Sorry for the huge reply, I love to speak with people from Ireland/England.

Syzible Through my own research I found my moms family originated (at least in the 1400's) from Poland, eventually migrating to England and then finally Newfoundland. I have some indigenous heritage on both sides. My dads family I couldn't get much info from. I can go back to the 1500's but they're still in Newfoundland. I'm assuming the Taylor surname came from England though.

I don't know many Newfies who pronounce their th's in regular conversation. We are taught in school that the accent doesn't sound intelligent so we are encouraged to drop it. The accent does prove to be an obstacle when learning to read and write because a lot of kids tend to spell the way they pronounce the words. My sister confuses "well" and "will" a lot because with a Newfie accent, they tend to sound the same.

The Irish mixed with French makes perfect sense, given Newfoundland history. Also, the Newfinese accent and dialect is supposedly more French in the northern part of Newfoundland, although I'm less familiar with it, being from the west coast of Canada, where accents are milder (urban is just a generic, neutral accent which may be difficult to discern from Washingtonians or Oregonians, in the USA, and the rural/boonie accent, at least from the part of the coast I'm from, can turn a bit more stereotypically Canadian, with influence from local First Nations reservation accents).

My greatest Newfoundlander story comes from when I was in the Air Force. We had an American exchange officer join our unit. He was a fantastic gentleman with a wealth of experience and an awesome sense of humour. I was his sponsor, which meant I helped him complete his move from the US to Canada. Now when I first met him I wasn’t surprised, having worked with the US Military before, to meet this 6’4” African American officer who grew up in Alabama. If anybody who has worked with the US military before you will know it is very multi-cultural as it was one of the first US government institutions to be racially integrated. So no surprise to me. However, he was a few years older than me so he had some interesting perspectives on the south prior to the repeal of official segregation. So you get his background. Well, after we did some research into accommodations, and some bar hopping on the weekend (we were both single but not looking) the day came to introduce him to the rest of the guys on the unit. I told him; “any issues come and see me and we’ll sort it out”. After one day he came to talk to me and he was extremely upset about one of his peers and was going to physically accost him. Well the individual’s nickname was Homer and he was the nicest guy on the unit but my Alabama friend was completely pissed with this guy. Obviously the cognitive dissonance was overwhelming for me. And my American friend said; “ the SOB keeps calling me boy”! Well he even got more mad when I burst out laughing at the comment. I put my hand up and told him; “Homer is a Newf! And it’s not Boy, it’s Bye! It is an endearing term such as buddy or pal. In fact in Newfoundland he might use that term with just about anyone but his mother. It literally has nothing to do with the colour of your skin” So my American friend had his first lesson on the diversity of Canada on his 4th day in country.

And the huge yellow berries were called "bake apples," and the flies and mosquitoes, when they got ridiculously bad, were just called "flies," as in, "The flies is real bad today." We ate seal meat and moose meat, and watched "The Days of Our Lives" on TV during lunch. Nice place. Lots of gravel highways.

The 'after' one is a construction that carried over from Gaelic into English.

We talk like that because of our Irish roots. all of our traditions and culture comes from there. and being and isolated island with not much economic growth, we were kind of just left alone, with one culture. I assume the rest of Canada lost its english/Irish accents when non English speaking Europeans settled into Canada, and had children with English as a first language. creating perfect pronunciation.

Overwhelmingly it grew out of accents from South East Ireland and West Country England. There is some French influence as well.

What's after happening now is said in Ireland as well. Origin: In the Irish language if you were to say in English "What has happened here?" in Irish the structure is "What's after happening here?"

+finalfrontier001 Cabot I suppose. The ethnicity of Newfoundland is 55% from SW England 45% from SE Ireland. The accents are a mixture of Devon and Waterford. The Devon accent is a strong one as well as Waterford's. The explanantion is that ships used to go from Plymouth to Waterford (to pick up wheat) to St.Johns and people were recruited in both places.

Can someone please tell me why the CBC media news anchor on TV don't have an accent like Allan Hawco when they are reporting the news? I know the CBC main news station is in St. John's unless of course they are reporting the news from Halifax NS and talking about the news coming out of Newfoundland and Labrador. I swear if you have a satellite and you put the NTV station on you won't be hearing the newsreporters or anchors saying " how's it goin b'y? "

Born and raised in Calgary and we have no problem understanding Newfenese. During the various oil booms there were groups of Newfs in all the bars and clubs, great party hardies. The Newf club had a big flown in lobster festival, live entertainment and party, sell out tickets, 2 day party every year for years. Same in the other western cities.

The dialects are quite different depending on which part of Newfoundland or Labrador. Some remote regions the dialect sound exactly like they are from Ireland.

I knew an old man who died aged 94 and I always thought he was Irish, but towards the end of his life I asked him whereabouts in Ireland he came from, he told me he and two brothers came across from newfoundland during second world war to work on convoy ships. After the war he settled in north east of England and everybody thought he was Irish due to his accent. So I'm thinking Newfoundland must have been settled by the Irish during the potato famine, hence the accent.
