What is the "Quebecois" of your language?
When researching a variety of Norwegian spoken by some people in the Midwest known as “norst” or American Norwegian, someone commented that it was like the Quebecois of Norwegian. My native language is English and I am American though, so I guess my own dialect of English would be the Quebecois of my language, or Canadian English too.

Newfy “English” is the Quebecois of English dialects. It’s barely understandable by the rest of the country. An Englishman and an american/Canadian will be able to understand one another mostly with no problem. There will be the odd slang word that trips 'em up but, overall, the message comes across. Newfy is hard to understand what most words are, the accent is thick. Similar to a Scottish or Welsh accent, I should think, to north Americans.
