As a New Zealander their accent sounds like someone originally from England that has lived in NZ for a long time. To Nzers they probably sound very English but When they travel home their friends and family would say "you've picked up a NZ accent haven't you?"
I am from Argentina and I dream of a friendly Argentina where we really make peace. I am an english student and I wish I could go to The Falklands as Chilean students do. I am a little sad fot that , however I hope that I am able to go there and enjoy Falklanders and these place loved by all Argentines.
I'm from the opposite side of the earth, and occasionally found this beautiful and scenic place on a map. I love the environment and atmosphere of the Falklands.
This video is great and thanks for those who published it. It is always great to learn how do pther people live. I might visit Falklands in my next vacation. Regards from Brazil!
nt m8 but a tiny island beat argentina, that tiny island being either britain or falklands is laughable. i almost want to go to argentina to see how delusional you ppl really are but then i remember i'd sooner travel to falklands because it's better in every way.
The cold gets in your bones with no words to describe how it affects you (and I come from farming so I'm no softie). I'm glad I spent time there but there is no place like it. Cucumbers £8+ and the only fresh veg is what you can grow in your conservatory
I certainly enjoyed watching this documentary, and the Falklanders have got a lot to be proud of. The Falklands nation has a terrific future, a future where they run their own country, grow their thriving economy and population, and continue to create their own separate identity, as proud Falklanders.
Great video. I'm from Leeds and its astonishing seeing just how British these Islanders are despite being 8000 miles away from the mainland. I'm going to visit the Falklands one day. God Save the Queen God Save the Falklands Islands!
It's amazing that the Falkland Islanders sound English o.O I honestly wouldn't be able to tell that they weren't raised in the UK mainland if I met one of them
There's a wide variation of accents around the islands but predominantly British plus commonwealth influences. I've heard a few sound like they're straight out of (Northern) Western Australian, some sound NZ, they probably are actually from there. Many UK personnel are stationed there and many stay there so it would be interesting to see how many were actually born in FI
@rckt I'm from New Zealand, our accent has that upward intonation or ending and is slightly nasal, an Australian accent is winey and utterly annoying, but at least it's not as harsh or nasty as a South African accent.
@rckt as someone from a country which has like 50 different regional accents you should know better than to think that two separate countries would have the same accent 😂 I always knew they had different accents but I could never recognise the difference until I spent some time with a group of people from both countries
Nah. As a Scot I have zero interest in the UK. It was an interesting experiment but its time is done. Time for the countries of the British Isles to go off and find their own destinies.
@@jackdubz4247 Destroying a union that has existed for centuries is a terrible idea. If Scotland needs more autonomy then it should should push for federalism instead of trying to destroy the U.K. and its economy in the process.
I think that Falklands are NOT Argentine.Falklands are British. I am sure that if we were Falklanders we would not like to be Argentine. So my message to Argentina is: ARGENTINA do NOT be selfish!Show them what we really are, we're good people and I am not the only one who thinks like this...I've been looking for some Falklanders friends but I could not, it is really hard. So if someone from there reads my message and would like to know about an Argentine,just tell me.Thanks !!
Lets get something straight here. The Islands are British simply because that's what their inhabitants want today. And it really doesn't matter where they are located, who had them or who wanted them 180 years ago. No one in his/her right mind could really think otherwise. Can you imagine Canada claiming Greenland? Are we in the twenty-first century or what? Good video!
To me it’s more west country mixed with South African, it’s interesting the accents that have developed in English across the Anglosphere and indeed the world. The most diverse accents in English can still be found at home here in the UK though, hundreds of accents in these small home islands, and I challenge any American to have a casual chat with a Glaswegian lol, I did recently and (being from the east of England) had to listen a little more intently than I normally would when he spoke at speed, and I ahead to ask him to repeat on occasion, we then had a “what if” moment that an American was present, and exasperated that I can chat unfettered with this guy but our American friend hasn’t got a clue what our Scottish friend is saying, it’s just jumbled gibberish to him lol.
I am Peruvian. I was in the folklands 1999 islands, working as Estivador in an English company to service the fishing boats Korea, Japan, Russian, Spanish. These boats pesacaban squid (Loligo). I have fond memories of the islanders and the island. The islanders were kind in their dealings, and what is his spirit shoulder more work, neatness and nationalists. But they also have a downside, look with some contempt for those who are or come from Peru, there is always that look of being superior, of course disingenuously, are not all but some. I would like to return to the islands, but only walk, to vistar friends like Pat who had his sheep and my countryman Luis Quinto Kamacite who stayed to work there in the Islands.
I am a British citizen from British Northern Ireland, I support the position of The Falklands and Gibraltar. Sadly the people in England don't care much about anyone who doesn't live in England. Not only is this evident throughout history but public opinion and actual government policy confirms this again and again. Recently the British newspapers carried the headlines 'Nation divided over Falklands." We should be 100% behind the Falklands but sadly we aren't.
@@gustavolastra101 I see you don’t recognise democracy and the democratic will of the people. The people of Northern Ireland choose BY DEMOCRATIC VOTE to remain part of the U.K.
@@gustavolastra101 Here is the history. Falklands: English (British since 1690). Northern Ireland: English (British) since 1195. BOTH areas now choose to be British.
@@gustavolastra101 Scotland and Northern Ireland aren’t colonies because they are part of the nation that is the U.K. Scotland voted to remain part of the U.K. and so do the citizens of Northern Ireland. Now you can talk of Imperialism and Colonialism all you like but you are living in the past with talk like that.
@@gustavolastra101 Bla bla bla……what age are you living in talking about the ‘Empire.’ Seriously? As for history, what’s done is done and we can’t change that. BUT we can learn not to be spiteful and seek revenge and do the exact same wrong things that were done in the past. You sound like someone who is looking revenge.
I find the accent to be very interesting. I couldn't really get much of a picture of the larger dialect of Falklands English though. Any Falklanders care to illustrate what kinds of unique words and non-standard grammatical traits you use? :)
Sounds 95 % home counties with a bit of Aus/NZ thrown in... everyone who spoke had a very very slight different accent tho.. Amazing after 100 years or more that there is not a standard accent like there is for instance on similar islands like Newfoundland/Nova Scotia etc.. Would love to have statistics of who was born there and how many generations of descendants there were/is etc..
I don't see any geodesic domes. That would be the ideal structure for such an environment. They could potentially cover many acres and could be used to create climates from forrests to deserts.
Brilliant, here we have an American telling me what country I live in & what nationality I am. Perhaps I should wonder why my passport says British citizen, why there is GBP sterling in my pocket & why British law governs Northern Ireland? As they say in the USA...........go figure!
@GaraGambini. The people in the UK as well as the Govt will stand by the Islanders, always have, always will. If the Falklands decided that they don't want to be an Overseas Territory then the UK would accept that too but the Islanders want to be, the self determination referendum clearly demonstrated that. Argentina will never take the Falklands, it has never been Argie and never will be Argie.
I'm talking about London money. The kind of money that A list movie stars dream of. You can only find this huge wealth resource in London and New York. I'm not interested in working a 9-5 job as I've tried that it it'll get me nowhere. Once I have enough capital I will eventually move to somewhere more tranquil, less stressful such as the Falklands.
The Chief of the Americas Department of the Foreign Office, John Troutbeck, wrote in October 1936: "The difficulty of the position is that our seizure of the Falkland Islands in 1833 was so arbitrary a procedure as judged by the ideology of the present day. It is therefore not easy to explain our possession without showing ourselves up as international bandits" (F.O. 371/19763, F° 349).
You are confusing Great Britain with British and Britain. Although confusing (and perhaps geographically incorrect) "Britain" on its own is an offcially sanctioned hsothand term for the United Kingdom of GB and Northern Ireland. As far as nationality is concerned, that is entirely different anyway. You can be Northern Irish resident or domicile but there is no such thing as a Northern Irish citizen. They may be an Irish or a British Citizen or both and there is no such thing as a NI passport..
@@GaraGambini I understand you feel that way because of the orange order culture etc. but it never made sense to me since Ulster Scots people weren't born or raised in Britain
Certanly?,The islanders can be britrish if they want, and can continue your life in the Falklands, but, I can try to you, how belong to Argentina, and , but, the administration must be to Argentine.
Mariano de anquin sorry but this statement of your is not understandable, what I'm guessing you mean is that the islanders can remain British but under age tine rule... That's the problem since it's an British overseas territory under its own administration it can and with looks to the referendum 99.8% against argentine rule, will not be argentine until they vote otherwise which I think won't happen any time soon
Sadly the people in England will not stand by the Falklanders, it is a classic English trait. This will be how the Argentians will win because of the English attitude. Sadly.
@@mylesrobinson3819 Most of the public in England don’t care and now we are seeing more and more voices calling for not only the Falklands, Gibraltar and Northern Ireland to no longer be British, sadly.
@Celtic Warlord That’s the very problem, ignorance. What has been the biggest issue in British politics for the last 200 years? Ireland/Northern Ireland yet the people of England STILL don’t know what’s going on in this part of the U.K. Even after all that murder and hurt. That’s the reality.
How do you stop being an Empire? by ending all imperialist activity abroad, just like Germany did. See Germany is not an Empire but the UK still is. See the difference between a peaceful nation and an aggressive Nuclear Empire?
