Canadians make fun of "Newfie" accents.

There are a also islands on the East Coast of the US where people have been living so long by themselves that they develop their own strong local accents.

Unfortunately, when I google "Nantucket accent" or "Kent Island accent" all I seem to get are boutiques, decorators, bed and breakfasts.

Those accents are probably all dying out because of all the summer people.
