Document Summary
Medieval norse settlement by greenlanders on northern tip of island. Did not work out, remains still exist (?) Native populations include innu/inuit in labrador and the now extinct beothuks on the island. Discovered again by cabot, lavrador, corte-real and cartier, among others. Europeans really liked nfl because it had access to atlantic ocean, which had a lot of fishing resources, and rich fish sources. Some similarities with other non-standard/regional north american dialects. Permanent british/irish settlement as early as the 1610s. Different settlement pattern from the rest of canada. Some other scatteredn european settlements (french/acadian, scottish (gaelic), portuguese, spanish, basque), with little lasting effect on local dialect. Nflders speak like pirates because people from south west sound like pirates. Did not receive influx of united empire loyalists or large numbers of immigrants during the time of the great. Majority of immigration was by those who either worked directly in or supported the cod fishery.
