Where English is just a little bit different

Newfoundland may have been part of Canada since 1948, but is still has its own language. 

Do you fancy going out jannying, for instance? It's getting close to that time of year. 

Or are you feeling gut foundered? If so, you might fancy a Jiggs' Dinner (top image), perhaps with some figgy duff.  

Mauzy, stogged, chummy, streel. 

Not words you'd hear anywhere else. 

Of all the things that make Newfoundland and Labrador different, the way the locals speak stands out. 

After centuries of living far off the beaten path, preserving an eclectic heritage and culture, the locals  probably have more varieties of English words than anywhere else on the planet.
