An Irishman would probably argue with everyone here and tell you the Newfoundlanders speak a language all their own that most Irish would not understand. But at the risk of being tarred and feathered by my Irish relatives, I will say Newfoundland just because I can't understand either of them.

Could be Newfoundland or Nova Scotia - but it's actually a Scottish accent because the original settlers there were Scots. Nova Scotia means New Scotland. |

"Yis bah, dat would be da martimes der."
Nova Scotia is pretty diverse for accents, considering the size of the province. Acadian, Scottish, Irish and sometimes I hear an accent similar to the Southern United States, "In da bayoo, there boya".
It really varies from town to town (~within all of the maritime provinces: New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island). |
