These people sound pretty Irish, I imagine the isolation and lack of interaction meant they retained their accents.

[@Bigj-bf4mn]

Even today the accents are heavy

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?

[@patriciakeats1621]

Exactly the same accent as Newfoundland.

[@thenextshenanigantownandth4393]

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.

[@brianf9615]

If you are from away it may sound the same but the Cape Breton and Newfoundland accents are different.

[@patriciakeats1621]

@@brianf9615 This sounds the same as some of the old regional Newfoundland accents.

[@brianf9615]

@@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.
