I need opinions and or sources where I can read up on this issue.
(I´m writting about Newfoundland english)
Thank you
I think so because the culture of any nation is carried by its language.

Carl Rose – Whats an “Earforit” ? Newfoundland Accordian Music
A dear friend of my family and mentor of mine, Carl Rose discusses the mysterious nature of how Newfoundland music gets passed from generation to generation. His father was known as a wonderful accordion player, and as a child Carl picked up some of the old tunes that have been sung on the island for years.
The conversation is more hilarious then anything and other conversations end up leaking through, all around tho a great slice of Newf culture.

Is Newfoundland’s distinct culture still present after joining Canada? (Confederation)?
Specific points would be great! Things such as their economy, way of living, and religious aspects..etc
Thanks (:
I’ve been to Newfoundland.
Their economy is definitely in the can. They are pretty religious. They live a simply way of life.
Nice people. Their reputation as being gullible is somewhat based in truth. They are isolated and somewhat innocent.
We spent a few days in a fishing village near Gros Morne. The local kids treated us like celebrities. EVERYONE wanted us to come over to their house. Especially this one kid – he had a NINTENDO!
This was in 1999 and the coolest kid in town was the one with a Nintendo. The kids were poking at a big dead porpoise that was taken in a fishing net. All the roads were dirt. There was a community center 50 miles away with a doctor who comes on Wednesdays…. do you get my drift?
Their way of speaking is downright wacky sometimes.

A Newfoundland Screech In Ceremony – Holiday Heidi.wmv
A Screech-In is part of the very culture of Newfoundland. This collection of pics and videos are of myself and my friends during of our first visits to the Rock. For anyone who has received the distinction of “honourary Newfoundlander”, this is a tribute to you. And hopefully it’ll bring a smile to the faces of those from the Rock who have coordinated, participated or witnessed a similar ceremony. You can throw some party!! 
It’s also for anyone who has yet to experience Newfoundland!! I wanted to share the experience (“adventures of” as I say), hope this will get you even more excited to visit there! Newfoundland is incredible. And now you can see for yourself the the added bonus’: kissing a cod (or a puffin), drinking a little Newfoundland rum and hopefully dancing a Newfie Jig (or two)!!
