This woman in Northern Ireland found people who can understand her -- in Newfoundland

[@nlpnt]

I have heard Newfoundland described as "Ireland with Chevy pickups".

[@zzplantlover]

Not at all surprised. I have lived in Labrador since my teens and when I went to N. Ireland with a friend (from Ontario) I understood everyone perfectly while she struggled. So this makes perfect sense to me.

[@OoavastoO]

It’s not just Nfld that has this linguistic connection to N. Ireland (or ALL of Ireland). It’s all of Atlantic Canada.

[@Cafeallday222]

Yes. I’m just leaving NB and I know these words because my dad grew up here. He’ll say “you’re gonna have the big feed” lol

[@patbrennan6572]

And don't forget the Ottawa Valley.

[@DontPullOut]

Not really. The accent in Newfoundland is a thick Irish one. You dont find that anywhere else in Canada.

[@redrocksoul]

I grew up hearing all those words in PEI too - I've heard them from Cape Bretoners too.

[@ironhell813]

It’s not just Irish either. It’s Gaelic, Scot’s use it as well. I’m not sure why this is considered news I thought this stuff was well known😅

[@jamesrein648]

Honestly I'm surprised you're surprised

[@justincronkright5025]

The most overlooked part of this news story is... that they get to enjoy Mary Brown's Chicken in Northern Ireland now.

[@mellow-jello]

Wonder if any Northern Irelanders know about Screech? The answer will tell you all you need to know.

[@Logan_Woods-zd2zi]

We say the same words in New Zealand too, but always nice to see Sandy Reynaldo and Garrett Barry anyways.

[@twinsonic]

Yep, that is correct..chur, bro

[@scrimshank1]

Those are terms used in all of Atlantic Canada - with a slightly different twang.

[@mathu6514]

It's like cousins suddenly realizing they are also siblings

[@bernie.b]

On our visit to Newfoundland last summer we made a point to drive the 'Irish Loop'.......

[@Dreyno]

Newfie accents are far close to accents from the south of Ireland than Northern Ireland.

[@bobwalsh2112]

You can hear those words around Boston Massachusetts as well

[@TheDemigreg]

The newfoundland Irish accents come from south east of Ireland, nothing to do with northern east of Ireland.

[@MolloyPolloy]

Newfoundland accent is so similar to a country wexford accent its bizarre.

[@flipperfryer]

Newfoundland ,PEI , Nova Scotia all down Easterns and on the same page but don't mess with Newfoundlanders they aren't afraid to stick up for whats right

[@DailyDoseOfEFT]

this is super cool! lovely

[@michaelfrench5252]

Newfoundland is the next parish West of Galway.

[@randomobserver8168]

The least surprising revelation in the field of language and dialect.

[@TheGiantKillers]

Being a Lisburn person myself, I must go along and try some Canadian chicken next time at at the Leisureplex.

[@pedrothejerk3008]

I have some that work for me out west and I still need to hire a translator to understand what they are saying.

[@innov13]

you're working with irish lads not newfies lol

[@owenator]

1:28 "Muff"?!! That's the city name?!!

[@adez13]

They have a world famous diving club that sells lifetime memberships

[@TheGiantKillers]

Muff is a tiny village about a mile away from the Northern Ireland/ Republic of Ireland border on the Republic of Ireland side, and, joking aside, yes they do genuinely have a diving club, are aware of the connotations of using the obvious name and instead are known as the Foyle Diving Club, taking the name of the river on which Muff sits.

[@Sabhoh]

Back in the Rock Against Bush days the Evangelists, a punk band from the area released an album, “Muff Against Bush”😂

[@Elvenboadicea]

Same in Scotland too.

[@heartman2013]

If we didn't know, it, yet again, shows that we don't learn much in school

[@Trevlead]

I use feed, racket and it’s a sin in southwestern Ontario too!

[@VictorRomeo1917]

Always seemed pretty obvious to me, just listen. If you weren't already aware of the connection you don't listen well nor know your history. Lard Tunnerin' Jaysus B'y.

[@jackietcarroll5679]

😂😂😂

[@MacVerick]

Same with Vancouver Island and Hawaii.

[@ironhell813]

Yes and japan and Hawaii and Vancouver…

[@Joseph13163]

The irish that came to Newfoundland were from the south east rather than the north,though nevertheless there would still be a lot of similarity

[@stevef3685]

I'm an Irish Newfoundlander, most of my ancestors were from the south, Waterford, Wexford, Kilkenny, but I have a couple that came from the North, Ulster, that settled in the Conception Bay area. But, I'm talking 200 years ago.

[@TheGiantKillers]

Trust me. Put a Cork and a Belfast person in a room together and they would struggle to understand each other's accents.

[@jackietcarroll5679]

Big Waterford connection

[@Sid-gu5qk]

Welcome to Muff? 😂😂😂

[@sanyopoweraid1]

For the Irish it's the north of Ireland, Garrett, not "northern Ireland." We don't forget that the north was taken from Ireland.

[@spiritcrunch]

Southern Ireland separated then complains that the north didn't leave with them. Boo hoo.

[@sanyopoweraid1]

@@spiritcrunch someone gave you the wrong history lesson, lad

[@Les-d1n]

⁠Ireland separated from england but have lived lick a suck calf off england since that time .

FALSE, "ethnic" canadians are british not irish

[@lifesimmercanada5401]

Nope. Just French. You are referring to the Acadians.

[@FactRzerO]

She simply liked the chicken and went from there. It happens when you're smitten. I've personally never cared for Mary Browns and grew up on the stuff more than 40 years ago, and also speak Irish.

[@lewissmith350]

Cool.

[@ERC641]

See how we are connected

[@philipbennett2973]

Yes by sure das alright

[@shmoopiebear]

Newfie from overseas has discovered a piece of Canadiana.

[@robertarisz8464]

I am confused - doesn't everyone talk like that?

[@johnjordan6736]

Apparently the population of Newfoundland was about 20,000 and 40,000 Irish arrived, they still have very Irish sounding accents. Edit: I am born and raised in Ireland.
