== Other == Although it is referred to as "Newfoundland English" or "Newfinese", the island of Newfoundland is not the only place which uses the dialect. Some southerly areas of Labrador and an area near the Labrador border, the mostly English-speaking [[Basse-CΓ΄te-Nord]] of [[Quebec]], also use it. Younger generations of the area have adapted the way of speaking, and created some of their own expressions. Some older generations speak Newfoundland English, but it is more commonly used by the younger generations. ''B'y'' is one of the most common terms used in the area. It is also common to hear Newfoundland English in [[Yellowknife]]; [[Southern Alberta]]; and [[Fort McMurray]], [[Alberta]], where many Newfoundlanders have moved or commute regularly for employment. Newfoundland English is also used frequently in the city of [[Cambridge, Ontario]] because of the high population of Newfoundlanders there, most of whom are from [[Bell Island (Newfoundland and Labrador)|Bell Island]].
