A 19th-century community of the Métis people of Canada the Anglo-Métis more commonly known as Countryborn were children of fur traders; they typically had Orcadian Scottish or English fathers and Aboriginal mothers. Their first languages were generally those of their mothers: Cree Saulteaux Assiniboine etc. and English. Some of their fathers spoke Gaelic or Scots leading to the development of the dialect of English known as Bungee.
