Newfoundland French

Newfoundland French refers to the French spoken on the Port au Port Peninsula of Newfoundland.
The francophones of the region can trace their origins to Continental French fishermen.
Some Acadians of the Maritimes also settled in the area.
Newfoundland French is most closely related to the Norman and Breton French of nearby St-Pierre-et-Miquelon.
Today, heavy contact with Acadian French and widespread bilingualism have taken their toll, and the community is in decline.
The degree to which lexical features of Newfoundland French constitute a distinct dialect is not presently known.
There is a provincial advocacy organisation Fédération des Francophones de Terre-Neuve et du Labrador representing both the Peninsular French and Acadian French communities.
