Thread Name: The Other Irish.
Subject: RE: The Other Irish.
From what I've heard, the range and variety of accents in Newfoundland is remarkably wide, with each township seeming to have its own, and some of them pretty different. Mind, given the size of the country and the isolation of the communities until relatively recently, I suppose that's not surprsiing.

Mind we get that here too, and not just in isolated places - I was once in Birmingham trying to find some tucked away place which meant I had to keep on stopping to get directions as I drove across the city. Each time I did so, it seemed I got a completely different, though recognisably Birmingham, accent.
