====Falkland Islands====
{{Main|Falkland Islands English}}

The [[Falkland Islands]] have a large non-native-born population, mainly from Britain but also from [[Saint Helena]]. In rural areas, the Falkland accent tends to be stronger. The accent has resemblances to both Australia-NZ English and that of [[Norfolk]] in England and contains a number of Spanish loanwords.

====Saint Helena====
"Saints", as Saint Helenan islanders are called, have a variety of different influences on their accent. To outsiders, the accent has resemblances to the accents of South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.

"Saint" is not just a different pronunciation of English; it also has its own distinct words. So "bite" means "spicy, as in full of chillies"; "us" is used instead of "we" ("us has been shopping"); and "done" is used to generate a past tense, hence "I done gorn fishing" ("I have been fishing").<ref name=speaksaint>{{Cite web|url=http://sainthelenaisland.info/speaksaint.htm|title = Speak Saint |website=Saint Helena Island Info |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240104043906/https://sainthelenaisland.info/speaksaint.htm |archive-date= Jan 4, 2024 }}</ref>

Television is a reasonably recent arrival there and is only just beginning to have an effect. American terms are becoming more common, e.g. "chips" for crisps.<ref name=speaksaint/>
