There is no one accent from Newfoundland just like there is no one accent from Ireland. Also these accents actually sound much more Irish then Newfoundland accents.

These people sound pretty Irish, I imagine the isolation and lack of interaction meant they retained their accents.
Even today the accents are heavy
Lovely video
Lol i never realized how somewhat uncommon it was to be Catholic until i moved out of Cape Breton
@Stephen Thomas not the in the half i live, around me now its all protestant and German ancestry
Try being a Presbyterian in South Bar. Our neighbors use to refer to us as black Protestants. When I was a kid I use to wonder why.
Thought the Whitty clan were all sent to prison?
Exactly the same accent as Newfoundland.

If you are from away it may sound the same but the Cape Breton and Newfoundland accents are different.
@@brianf9615 This sounds the same as some of the old regional Newfoundland accents.
@@patriciakeats1621 Ask any Cape Bretoner or Newfoundlander if the accent is the same and I'm sure they will tell you they are different.
@@brianf9615 I’m from Newfoundland. I know how our old people used to sound nearly 50 years ago.
