    I am from France and somehow the accent from Nova Scotia is the hardest one to understand for me. Thanks for the video!

    I love that you did an accent video for Lunenburg! That's where I'm from and my family has been here for over 200 years! It's nice to see that you talk a lot like us here in New Ross! I love listening to the old timers! It's nice to see us younger ones haven't lost it! It's a distinct enough accent the government gave funding to have it studied. I watched a guy d the exact same thing accept he was from Halifax he didn't have a accent and he said Nova Scotianers who do are Hicks! Then I read that someone thought that people in Lunenburg county South Shore area have the ugliest accents you could ever here! I think it's because it's not an Irish or Scottish dialect. My family has strong German heritage and by the looks of you so don't you. You have a very strong jaw! That's feature that's also in my family.

      Oh and the comment about people of Lunenburg county have ugly accents pissed me off!

      Since my maternal ancestors have roots in both Halifax and Lunenburg counties, I agree that the comments about Lunenburg English are inappropriate.
      Because I also have German and Foreign Protestant roots, some of my accent is based on Lunenburg English as well.

    Maritime accents are derived from the 7000 New Englanders and Germans who settled there from 1755-65, and 35,000 of the KIng's Loyal Americans from the southern 13, plus later additions of Highland Scots, English and Irish immigrants, right?

    That can probably be explained by the fact that Halifax has a more diverse, transient population; less homogeneously Nova Scotian. On the other hand, the rural counties of Nova Scotia (and the rest of the Maritimes) are populated mostly by descendants of families that settled in the 1700's, and have been handing down the regional dialect in relative isolation ever since.

      To understand why Nova Scotians have different accents, you have to look the history of this province's colonization patterns.
      Throughout Nova Scotian history, after the Acadian expulsion, the province experienced four different migrant settlement periods, including the Foreign Protestants during the 1740s and 1750s, New England Planters from 1759 to 1768, United Empire Loyalists during 1780s and 1790s, and eventually the Highland Scottish from the 1770s to the 19th century.
      Foreign Protestants consisted of Montbeliard French, Swiss French, Swiss German, Austrian German, and German migrants whom were recruited from the British Empire to migrate to Nova Scotia.
      New England Planters consisted of New England states residents whom migrated to Nova Scotia to start a better life.
      United Empire Loyalists came to Nova Scotia to escape persecution from American hands.
      As for the Highland Scottish, they came to Nova Scotia to start a better life as a result of the Highland Clearances or Fuadach nan Gàidheal.

      I am watching this video while living in blue rocks and honesty I found there was never an accent like that from the people here (at least not that strong) but the vid was funny anyway.

      James Kyte there’s no “homogenous” Nova Scotian. No matter how WASPy it gets, next village over is probably German or Acadian or Mi’kmaq or Black Nova Scotian or Scottish or what have you.

    I listened to other folks videos who are apparently from Halifax or somewhere in Nova Scotia, and they sound nothing like you. I don't understand, you sound southern American.. The other people's videos and their accents I noticed sounded like mine and ok from Toronto, but yours is quite different.

      When he said "Alabama," he sounded like he could be from there.
