Newfoundlanders
Eastern maritime inhabitants
Newfoundlanders are people from Newfoundland, the eastern Canadian island province.
The term carries strong cultural identity—Newfoundlanders are known for distinctive accents, maritime traditions, and tight-knit communities shaped by the fishing industry.
Newfoundlanders have their own vocabulary and expressions.
Also called Newfies, though some consider that term condescending when used by outsiders.
