Newfoundland French or Newfoundland Peninsular French (French: français terre-neuvien) refers to the French spoken on the Port au Port Peninsula (part of the so-called “French Shore”) of Newfoundland. The francophones of the region are unique in Canada tracing their origins to Continental French fishermen who settled in the late 1800s and early 1900s and not to the Québécois or Acadians of the Maritimes.
