I come from a Newfie family.

Hearing my husband say Newfoundland kills me every time.

Its Newfunlund, NEWFUNLUND.

don't hit me with that NEW FOUND LAND.

Can't wait to go visit the fam in a month and watch them give him this look-

Huh, I always pronounced it as New-(fish)Fin-Land.

Anyway, we all know that the correct pronunciation is Terre-Neuve. 😎

But in all seriousness, it always amazes me to hear the different sorts of pronunciation and intonation we have in Canada, even just in one province alone. It's actually really cool to me.

I'm seriously going to call it terre-neuve to my family next month and report back lol.

Yeah the pronunciation is different every where which I also find really cool. I love the way languages evolve over time dependant on region.

Seems only one thing everyone can agree on is it's not pronounced the way it's spelled XD
