Everyone's accent is different from one another

[@MakhalanyaneMotaung]

This island has the WILDEST accent i've ever heard. Seems so nice. Would definitely visit for a few months at least

[@4321weezee]

😂 as a Bermudian I will say this the frst time I'm heard someone else who sounds like us. I love it ❤

[@stephensmith4480]

My Father was Born there and a nicer person, you could not meet. It is a place that I must visit, it looks stunningly Beautiful and the people all seem so genuine and friendly. Stay safe saints.

I grew up in Coconut Grove (Miami) in the 1950’s. It was wonderful. Saint Helena now reminds me of Coconut Grove in the 1950’s.

[@nickyjlyons]

Wow! What a mix of race/creed/ethnic backgrounds! And those unique accents! I find these tiny island nations fascinating

[@Chantalsunflickedbean]

My grandad was born on st Helena, Reginald Thomas was his name, He has family still there, I’d love to visit one day ♥️

[@emmacrofts]

I can't wait to move to St. Helena in August 2021! I'm so excited to be part of such a lovely community :)

Such a beautiful place and people...hope you guys are safe from corona virus big love from Wales in the UK😘😘😘😘

[@meta4282]

We would not worry about C19. Worry more about the social media virus or TB or leftist politics. Those are far worse.

[@serenarchie123]

@@meta4282 I agree a lot has happened in the past 7 months and I can see it's all lies now...I'm more concerned about the impending police state that is coming to every country on the planet to in force the mandatory vaccines and worse!...good luck✌❤❤

[@barreldreamz7852]

@@meta4282 oh my God I just fell in love with you guys more when you said we worry more about the leftist politics and social media. Jesus Christ must have blessed the thoughts and souls of your people for you guys to steer clear from leftist politics that the West is trying to push as well as social media that the whole world is trying to push but especially China with this tick tock madness that's literally making our kids sick and delusional as well as self-conscious and vulnerable in a whole new way that's completely unhealthy. Wow you made me want to move there right now because America and Joe Biden are just falling apart and it's so sad

[@wasantha258]

If destiny permits I will definitely come to St. Helena..with someone I really love a lot...

[@prciktomes]

Brings back the fondest memories. Visited this beautiful island two years ago - and every word is true. Came there for the nature, remember it most for the people.

[@omobolajiodunayo561]

Please I want to visit Saint Helena help me to get the visa,, this is my number wApps number [phone]

[@strich7385]

My ancestors are from here, loved getting an insight into the people who occupy the island 🖤

[@noifurze6397]

I really would like to go to st Helena they seem such genuine people, years ago I was drinking in my local someone was standing next to my having a beer and couldn't help listening to his accent it seemed strange to me part mild south African, abit of kewi some Pompey from Portsmouth even Irish a whole mish mash of accents in there,the man himself his mannerism were British or Irish but his skin tone was like someone from southern Italy, in my mind I thought he was someone from the south coast of England who had either travelled or worked for many years in a hot country, so being nosey I ask where he was from, he said he was a saint which confuses me and then said st Helena ,he had come to meet his daughter where l lived, what a very interesting and friendly man he was never forget it

[@nicolehendricks566]

My great grandpa's mother was from Saint Helena Island.He played a huge part in my upbringing and he always told me that his mom comes from here. Randomly,thought about him today and did some research.The people look similar to South Africans. I need to visit someday❤ Joseph Peter Martin. Miss you always❤

[@jonathangeer9904]

Lovely place. Lovely people. Lovely memories (if brief). Love to go back.

[@stephenrichardhamilton6112]

How i miss the people of st helena. I wish you all well treasure all my memories. I hope with all these excellent short videos the island will prosper. Bless you all.

[@theshamanite]

Such an interesting accent. I've never heard where said in two syllables before. Sadly I can't find a good video about the accent itself, but it's fascinating.

[@noblechadinezzer3793]

Yes,its really good accent i love it

[@dawnbebin596]

It's a unique twang & dialogue!👍🏼😂, that's been passed down through the generations of my Family, our Saints & of course my ancestors.😃. I think it's due to the many different nations who invaded it, landed there, tried to own it but inhibited there instead or moved on throughout the years! I find it fascinating & enjoyable at the same time xx

[@LVZVRUS]

Australia and NZ say where with 2 syllables.

[@vladimirzeleny8816]

I was searching for a language video too, but this satisfied me quite well

[@petermwaura846]

I love #StHelena....Much love fro East Africa #Kenya

Peter, have you heard from your famous Native Son? - Bill, in the Southern USA

[@clemrumley9691]

Have you been there Peter.. sound a fab place to visit ?

[@Mr91495osh]

My only issue with living on an island, especially a remote island like mid Atlantic or mid Pacific islands is the availability of healthcare. As we get older, i’m 76 with huge medical issues, what do the older Saints do. It must be heartbreaking to leave such a beautiful place.

[@priscashowwwss]

Wow! ❤️❤️❤️ Seems peaceful and would love to be there 💓💓💓

[@keithdavies6316]

God Bless the Saints may Saint Helena thrive beyond our expectations

[@kersie2000]

Hi Saints. My dream is to come visit the birth place my great grandfather. He was Mr George and he had a sister who also moved to South Africa. Sadly that is all we know about him. We know his sister's descendants who now live in Australia as do we

[@sarahp1383]

Beautiful film. Loved them all. /RN

[@SuperRJ80]

The truth is that this island has a heart wrenching history and the people are a reminder of it.

[@kgomotsopupuma9142]

I was looking for a comment like this. I actually came to this video after reading a history book that spoke of its ties to my country, South Africa. I was curious to find out how their accent sounds too😅 Looking for any similarities to our accents over here.

[@csa7189]

My maternal grandmothers ancestry is from here and linked to South africa too. Since slaves were also brought from Madagascar and India to St. Helena it mean that I might have either Malagasy or Indian ancestry too. Could there be probably intermarriage between british and slave populations as you can see from the people? Also tracing my ancestry.

[@thunor3656]

Sounds slightly Australian or south African

[@CrogZillaDJ]

My family heritage goes back to St Helena, I'm trying to trace my family history back. My great grandmother was named Dorothy Isaacs and she was born in the 1920s. Her mother was named Ruby Senardes (could be incorrect spelling). Can anyone please help with any advice or information. I would greatly appreciate this as it means alot to me. I'm also looking got someone to exchange letters with like a penpal from the island. I look forward to visiting the island one day, I feel a part of me is there somehow. Many thanks, Craig.

Looks like a beautiful place but as an Irishman far too many Union Jack's to frighten me and gives me bad memories.

Over many generations 'saints' have their own dialect and many St Helenian accents also differ to each other.
