To me it’s more west country mixed with South African, it’s interesting the accents that have developed in English across the Anglosphere and indeed the world. The most diverse accents in English can still be found at home here in the UK though, hundreds of accents in these small home islands, and I challenge any American to have a casual chat with a Glaswegian lol, I did recently and (being from the east of England) had to listen a little more intently than I normally would when he spoke at speed, and I ahead to ask him to repeat on occasion, we then had a “what if” moment that an American was present, and exasperated that I can chat unfettered with this guy but our American friend hasn’t got a clue what our Scottish friend is saying, it’s just jumbled gibberish to him lol.

This video is great and thanks for those who published it. It is always great to learn how do pther people live. I might visit Falklands in my next vacation. Regards from Brazil!

I'm from the opposite side of the earth, and occasionally found this beautiful and scenic place on a map. I love the environment and atmosphere of the Falklands.

I am from Argentina and I dream of a friendly Argentina where we really make peace. I am an english student and I wish I could go to The Falklands as Chilean students do. I am a little sad fot that , however I hope that I am able to go there and enjoy Falklanders and these place loved by all Argentines.

There's a wide variation of accents around the islands but predominantly British plus commonwealth influences. I've heard a few sound like they're straight out of (Northern) Western Australian, some sound NZ, they probably are actually from there. Many UK personnel are stationed there and many stay there so it would be interesting to see how many were actually born in FI

Lets get something straight here. The Islands are British simply because that's what their inhabitants want today. And it really doesn't matter where they are located, who had them or who wanted them 180 years ago. No one in his/her right mind could really think otherwise. Can you imagine Canada claiming Greenland? Are we in the twenty-first century or what? Good video!

I have fond memories of the islanders and the island. The islanders were kind in their dealings, and what is his spirit shoulder more work, neatness and nationalists. But they also have a downside, look with some contempt for those who are or come from Peru, there is always that look of being superior, of course disingenuously, are not all but some. I would like to return to the islands, but only walk, to vistar friends like Pat who had his sheep and my countryman Luis Quinto Kamacite who stayed to work there in the Islands.

If the Falklands decided that they don't want to be an Overseas Territory then the UK would accept that too but the Islanders want to be, the self determination referendum clearly demonstrated that. Argentina will never take the Falklands, it has never been Argie and never will be Argie.

Not only is this evident throughout history but public opinion and actual government policy confirms this again and again. Recently the British newspapers carried the headlines 'Nation divided over Falklands." We should be 100% behind the Falklands but sadly we aren't.

Falkland Islands are like the Australia of the Americas. Don't tell me it's the US because the US is too different from Australia.

You are confusing Great Britain with British and Britain. Although confusing (and perhaps geographically incorrect) "Britain" on its own is an offcially sanctioned hsothand term for the United Kingdom of GB and Northern Ireland. As far as nationality is concerned, that is entirely different anyway. You can be Northern Irish resident or domicile but there is no such thing as a Northern Irish citizen. They may be an Irish or a British Citizen or both and there is no such thing as a NI passport..

The Chief of the Americas Department of the Foreign Office, John Troutbeck, wrote in October 1936: "The difficulty of the position is that our seizure of the Falkland Islands in 1833 was so arbitrary a procedure as judged by the ideology of the present day. It is therefore not easy to explain our possession without showing ourselves up as international bandits" (F.O. 371/19763, F° 349).
