"English speaking".

/S

Sorry, transplanted Nova Scotian in Ontario. I love Newfoundlanders. I just can't understand them when they get drunk and start talking to each other.

    Used to work with an Irishman in Vancouver. We were drinking in a bar by site after work on a Friday and I had to stop him from starting a fight with a group of 6 Newfs because he thought they were making fun of him.
    We ended up having a good laugh with them about it after he'd chilled out, but it was touch and go for a minute there....

    They were the last region added to Canada and some of them were horrified that Nova Scotia wasn't as loyal to the crown.

    Fun fact, the root word of "Viking" in old norse is "vík" which means a bay or inlet. The literal translation of the word Viking then is "Bayman", which if you know Newfies well, is a term they are very familiar with. A thousand years and the meaning of the term hasn't really changed that much.
