Summary:
The rich heritage of Newfoundland
English
, influenced by the dialects of the
English
, Irish, and Scottish immigrants to the province, receives well-deserved attention in this well-crafted dictionary. Author R. A. Bragg aims to elevate Newfoundland
English
from being thought of as mere slang or accent to a standardized
language
, and to preserve the heritage of
North
America
's
first
English
language
for the future. This dictionary offers both
Newfy
to
English
and
English
to
Newfy
translations with 1,500 fully annotated entries. The dictionary is completed by usage and pronunciation guides that present a regularized
language
structure, as well as three maps. As this dictionary shows,
traditional
Newfy
talk
is unique, relevant, and altogether “wunnerfo.”
