4 ай бұрынWhitney McCullough says she has always felt like people outside her home of Banbridge, Northern Ireland, need subtitles to decipher her accent and slang. So it has been strange and delightful to discover through her TikTok videos that in Newfoundland and Labrador, people understand her just fine.

I have heard Newfoundland described as "Ireland with Chevy pickups".

It’s not just Nfld that has this linguistic connection to N. Ireland (or ALL of Ireland). It’s all of Atlantic Canada.

Yes. I’m just leaving NB and I know these words because my dad grew up here. He’ll say “you’re gonna have the big feed” lol

I grew up hearing all those words in PEI too - I've heard them from Cape Bretoners too.

It’s not just Irish either. It’s Gaelic, Scot’s use it as well. I’m not sure why this is considered news I thought this stuff was well known😅

Not at all surprised. I have lived in Labrador since my teens and when I went to N. Ireland with a friend (from Ontario) I understood everyone perfectly while she struggled. So this makes perfect sense to me.

The irish that came to Newfoundland were from the south east rather than the north,though nevertheless there would still be a lot of similarity
@stevef3685 15 күн бұрын
I'm an Irish Newfoundlander, most of my ancestors were from the south, Waterford, Wexford, Kilkenny, but I have a couple that came from the North, Ulster, that settled in the Conception Bay area. But, I'm talking 200 years ago.

For the Irish it's the north of Ireland, Garrett, not "northern Ireland." We don't forget that the north was taken from Ireland.
