Falkland Islands English

Falkland Islands English is the dialect of the English language spoken in the Falkland Islands. It is mainly derived from varieties of English spoken in Southern England and retains many similarities with them. However, it also shares certain features with Southern Hemisphere Englishes, and Falklanders visiting the UK are sometimes mistaken for Australians or New Zealanders. The dialect persists despite the arrival of many immigrants from the United Kingdom in recent years. In rural areas (i.e. anywhere outside Stanley), known as 'Camp' (from Spanish campo or 'countryside'), the Falkland accent tends to be stronger.
