I don't know why I was so adamant about Scottish ancestry and all that. It was very silly of me. Forgive me, that comment feels like I wrote it a long time ago.

@MarvellousMuffin Don't forget that German, Irish, English, Dutch, and Swiss German ancestries are also common in Nova Scotia.

He sounds a bit like a cape-islander.... I am guessing that he lives near the south of nova scotia.

I'm from there, but he doesn't sound exactly like me.

I'm Nova Scotian and I don't speak that way at all or have I ever really met anyone that did.

I went to Boston last winter and this woman on the subway was like" you guys must be bluenosers, you've got really thick accents" and I was like " ...., didn't notice"

Newfoundlanders have a much thicker accent than those from NovaScotia.I am a newfoundlander and when i travelled to Halifax i had to slow down my speech in order for people to understand me lol.But it wasnt as nearly as bad as when i went to vancouver lol.Ive met people from PEI and i would swear they were newfoundlanders from their accent..but i guess it depends on exactly where your from..so many eastcoast accents..
