The Irish language was once widely spoken on the island of Newfoundland before largely disappearing there by the early 20th century. The language was introduced through mass immigration by Irish speakers chiefly from Counties Waterford Tipperary and Cork. The Irish spoken in Newfoundland was said to resemble that of Munster Irish as spoken in the south of Ireland in the eighteenth century.
