Compare two dialects of English side by side — where they're spoken, what they're called, and how they relate.
Newfie English
The most distinctive variety of Canadian English, descended from 17th- and 18th-century West Country and Hiberno-English settlers. Strongly divergent from mainland Canadian English in vowels and grammar.
RP · BBC English · Standard Southern British
The traditional prestige accent of southern England. Long carried by national broadcasting and higher education, but no longer dominant in everyday British speech.
