ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Newfoundland Irish

Imagine two groups of people, one from a place called Newfoundland and one from a place called Ireland. These two groups liked each other a lot and many of the Irish people moved to Newfoundland to live there.

When the Irish people moved to Newfoundland, they brought their culture and beliefs with them. They continued to speak their own language and kept their own customs, like music, dancing, and sports. Over time, some of these customs blended with the customs of the people who already lived in Newfoundland.

So, when we talk about Newfoundland Irish, we're referring to the Irish people who moved to Newfoundland and the unique culture and traditions they created there. It's like a mix of Irish and Newfoundland culture that's been around for a long time.
