Bermudian English

Bermudian English is a regional accent of English found in Bermuda, a British overseas territory in the North Atlantic. "Standard English is used in professional settings and in writing, while vernacular Bermudian English is spoken on more casual occasions".〔Ruth Thomas, "Notes on Bermudian Language", in "Bermuda connections", ''Smithsonian Folklife Festival. 2001''. Washington, DC: Smithsonian Institution, 2001.〕 The Bermudian accent began to develop following settlement in the early 17th century, and retains traits of Elizabethan English.〔Petrone, Kelly. (Welcome to the Bermuda Department of Tourism's Media Information Kit ), Corbin & Associates, Ltd〕
Casual observers tend to have difficulty in placing the Bermudian accent, as it differs from those that are clearly British, American or Caribbean; they also note that the accent tends to vary between individuals.〔Weller, Anthony. (Celebration Bermuda ), ''The New York Times'', June 15, 2003〕 To Americans, it sounds slightly British, while the British find it more American.
==Categorisation==

Bermudian English has been called "one of the most severely underresearched varieties of English".〔Cecilia Cutler, Stephanie Hackert and Chanti Seymour, "Bermuda and Bahamas", in Ulrich Ammon (ed.), ''Sociolinguistics. An International Handbook''. 2nd ed. Vol. 3. Walter de Gruyter, 2006. ISBN 3-11-018418-4. p. 2066.〕 It primarily shows a mixture of traits typical of British English and American English, and is generally classified as a form of American (rather than Caribbean) English.〔Tom McArthur (ed.), ''Oxford Companion to the English Language''. Oxford and New York: Oxford University Press, 1992. ISBN 0-19-214183-X. pp. 116, 352.〕 The most detailed scholarly study of Bermudian English, in 1933, stated that this type of speech "would create least remark, if indeed any, between, say, Norfolk, Virginia, and Charleston, South Carolina";〔Harry Morgan Ayres, "Bermudian English", ''American Speech'' 8:1 (1933), p. 4. (Available online to JSTOR subscribers )〕 British-Bermudian actor Earl Cameron noted that because the Bermudian accent sounded American, he was able to land a speaking role in 1942. In certain aspects of vocalization, however, Bermudian English is close to some versions of Caribbean English,〔Cecilia Cutler, “English in the Turks and Caicos Islands: A look at Grand Turk” in ''Contact Englishes of the Eastern Caribbean'', ed. Michael Aceto and Jeffrey P. Williams. John Benjamins: 2003, pp. 51–80. ISBN 90-272-4890-7. p. 60.〕 and some would bracket all these varieties to the broad region of the "English-speaking West Indies".〔John Wells, ''Accents of English 3: Beyond the British Isles''. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1982. ISBN 0-521-29719-2. p. 561.〕
