Most of the brave early immigrants who stayed were from the south-west of England and the south-east of Ireland and lived here in isolation for a long time.

The British colony only became part of Canada in 1949, so you wouldn't have imagined it. They really speak differently than the rest of Canada. The current, new Newfoundland, this new Newfoundland, there we go, has English, Scottish and French, but they are mostly of Irish descent.

In the 19th century it was a British colony called British Guyana. More slaves came from West Africa and Barbados and the inevitable pigeon language was formed, mainly English words with sounds and features of the African language. He mixed little with the Dutch criles, but not much because at that time they were already disappearing. Later, a ton of indentured laborers arrived from India and this brought a whole new linguistic influence. Guyana has been independent since 1966, but English remains the official language. The locals call their dialect Crealese or Guyanese and it ranges from standard English to a much broader Creole, as the indigenous tribes were never exterminated here, fortunately, and if you go into the interior you may even hear these influences.

What's wrong because the whole idea of ​​details, like people obsess over details, it could be like sex can't be any, it's not important, what's important? is that yes, here is the dialect with a famous history, people who have lived here for centuries have ancestors who have Celts, Vikings and Anglo-Saxons, so where are we now? We are in Glasgow, Scotland. Can I ask you first of all? Glasgow was a portthat many desperate immigrants arrived from Ireland, Eastern Europe and Italy, and where many mountain people also came in search of work, not like that. your everyday mix, funny story, the attack was hoaxed, they thought they were on ships to America, which explains the many ice cream parlors that sprung up, but if the dialect baffles you, don't blame the Italian, the Irish and Scottish influences are very, very strong, remember.

The regions speak incredibly fast and have many Italian surnames there. Hello, everyone. I hope you're well. It is very cold. There is a lot of snow everywhere. Can you imagine speaking like your ancestors did for hundreds of years? The inhabitants of this island. They have refused to abandon the old ways. They have a unique way of speaking that has been passed down from the first English settlers who came from Cornwall. I'm talking about Tangier Island in uh.Chesapeake Bay, an estuary off the east coast of Virginia, yes, United States, yes, the Tangier dialect has changed a lot over the decade to come, but because of its isolation it doesn't there was outside influence and it became a creation of its own way of traveling to Tangier, can I?

I'm talking about Liberia, Liberia is in West Africa and has the fastest growing population in the world, so today when you're well dressed like me and you're targeting your goal watching Auto Teaming, people will look at you and say, "my man, the one you want." to kill Blair hey that's why they say that when placing blah blah wrong because Lena won't die you don't want to see a dress no one dressed better than him before the 21st century they just called all the English dialects but nowadays they call them coloqua So, why all the varieties?

In the 19th century, Liberia had a pigeon called English. It's true that sailors and migrant workers talked, they picked it up at sea, but then sixteen thousand African-American immigrants sailed to Liberia and obviously couldn't talk. local languages ​​you are not going to put up with anything I say now, so their descendants are the ones who speak the English of the Liberian settlers, which still has some archaic American expressions, the English of the settlers then influences kaloqua, are you still with me here ? Well, anyway, later there was a 14-year Civil War in Liberia and believe me, it was a great motivator to find a common language.

One interesting thing Liberians do is speak with suffixes to convey their emotions, good or bad. They say, oh Liberians, and very well, the truth is, how many did you guess? from the first clip, come on, tell me the truth and how many you got with the clues, let me know in the comments how many you got and now it's time for something completely different with the next video, thanks.
