I was in small Newfoundland town about a decade ago, sitting in a cafe and listening to the locals chat. I couldn’t understand a thing and I really tried. The moment you would talk to them though they would change. But when they were just talking with each other it was like another language. Truly incredible!

@NeverendingTori Год назад

This is quite common! Newfoundlanders will often consciously (or unconsciously) make their accent less intense for the benefit of non-Newfoundlanders to understand. My friend and I (both Newfoundlanders) once visited Toronto to meet up with an American friend of hers and he said he had no trouble understanding us when we were speaking to him directly, but at times when we were speaking with each other in a conversation amongst ourselves, he had no idea what we were saying.

@monikaash5781 Год назад

Sorry, but as a Canadian, I have to totally disagree. Right off the bat, he failed to pronounce "Newfoundl - AND -d" correctly and he made everything else sound completely Irish, which is not the case even in Southern N, where the hard Ts are in fact dropped at the end of words ("Roight"). He nailed the Cajun accent, though, making it sound even more Acadien.

I loved this whole series, although I was disappointed at how quickly he glossed over the Northwestern states, including Northern California. Although it's subtler than differences in, say, the South, there is still so much accent variety in this area. It would be really cool to see a more in-depth video on it.

@rosebonnie7444 Год назад

He pretty much just skipped over Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Washington. Having travelled through all those areas the variety of English dialect is so different. Not too mention the Native tribes have a very distinctive tone and pattern for their English language once you get on the Res.

Born and raised in Oregon and there is definitely a “country” sounding Oregon and a Willamette Valley/Portland/Salem/Eugene accent. Some country Oregonians will say Warshington. They add the r sound. There is a Dutch dairy farmer and a German settlement in the Willamette valley and also a large Russian orthodox settlement here in the valley. People can sound completely different just between the small towns here.

@mori6434 Год назад

@joshjones6072 Год назад

I agree. Born and raised in California, noticed the same thing. There's a country accent here too that sounds a little southern. Not jest bein awnry, s'just truw. Then there's city people speak, and a few others. I've lived on ranches, homesteads, in small towns and cities in California.

I give you credit for attempting a Newfoundland accent, but the glaring error is that "Newfoundland" is pronounced with the stress on the last syllable, not the first (and certainly not the second). This is now the normal pronunciation throughout Canada, though until the 1990s it was really only typical in Newfoundland itself (and the other Atlantic provinces).

@davidhines68 2 года назад

@@snowsim Native Newfoundlander here 👋 Emphasis is fine on the first syllable as long as you are fully pronouncing the word “land”. You will hear NL locals emphasize either the first or last syllable across the province, but never the second. The best piece of advice I can give on the pronunciation itself is that “Newfoundland” rhymes with “understand”. Most locals will barely even pronounce the middle syllable, tbh lol. You’ll mostly hear us say “noofn-land”. If we’re REALLY speeding along when were talking, you’ll often hear it come out like “nooflan” 😂
