Yeah and perhaps the fact that many Newfoundlanders were descended from Cork, County Wexford and other parts of Ireland builds up with a sense as to why Newfoundland has a ton of different accents and unique dialects!

Every bay got its dialect. The east side has the strongest Irish. The west coast of the island has also a lot of influences from the West Counties of English. Then there's area on the West coast that have Acadian French influence. Labrador has others as well

So my grandfather was a child of two Irish-Canadians that settled in Newfoundland. And when he was 15 they moved to Winnipeg. And he had my mom and aunt. And when he retired and they were graduated and had their own careers he moved back to the east coast to Labrador. So for most of the summer and winter I would go stay with my grandfather and my grandmother and I can defiantly confirm that every time that I come back from their house I start to sound more Canadian with a Irish twang. And even at home I’ve had people ask me if I’m from NF/L or if I’m actually from Ireland.

My family hails from Newfoundland as far back as I can trace. My gran emigrated to the USA when she married a Johnny during WW2- bringing my mother (child from her first marriage) with her. She used to sing to me all the time and, when she was feeling maudlin and in her cups, would sing the old songs to me from the fishing boats she was on as a young girl…. She lived a long life and always instilled in me the importance of heritage. I hope, one day, to visit Western Bay and Placentia and see where my mother grew up …… till then, enjoy the squid jiggin and thank you for the beautiful reminder of my amazing gran, Wilhelmina Wilcox

i am from the Appalachian part of Kentucky in the states, and i am absolutely fascinated by this. firstly, because i can understand this feller just fine, not even tryin. and second, because the majority of Appalachian people are descended from europeans, with a healthy dose of Scots Irish influence fer good measure. and third, because the Appalachian mountains go from as far south as Alabama and Mississippi, north all the ways up to Newfoundland. and my fellow Kentuckians is often thought of as being unintelligible by the rest of our countrymen, lol. our accent's more banjo than this though. twangier and more nasally. and with a lot of weird random old words we made up, and a ton of vowel swappin. he just sounds like a Irish feller, not a Canadian feller. accents are so interesting though

Lol it's largely due to immigration, the east coast of Canada is largely self-isolated and the populations are largely due to massive irish immigration long ago. The Irish actually make up for a very large part of our population in general, it's mostly English, irish and Scottish with French being the obvious heritage for Qubec although due to the French embracing catholicism back in the day, they offered a bit more of a warmer reception to the Irish catholics back In the day than other groups of people in another time. There's also the native populations who also speak with an accent which you can sometimes hear from time to time across the country but the canadian accent, with variations depending on location, owes a lot to the UK

It is actually more likely influenced from the old England English accent. Namely, Shakespearean 16th/17th century English accents, as it sounded very much like how Irish accents sounds nowadays. Accents aren't fixed in stone; they change over time. The English (the West country folk, in particular) founded and settled Newfoundland, not the Irish.
