     Ireland is an unusual anglophone location in that it is an island of some size with a population large enough for internal dialectal variation. It can be compared in this respect with Newfoundland and possibly with Jamaica and New Zealand (two islands, of course). Other anglophone locations are either much larger (United States, Canada, South Africa, Australia) or so small that an internal differentiation of varieties is not recognisable, cf. the many anglophone islands of the Caribbean as well as such islands as Malta or Tristan da Cunha.

Anglophone (plural Anglophones)

     When we consider the situation of Anglophones in Quebec, we quickly realize that the vitality of this group depends upon its geographical location. In and around Montreal, Anglophones have good access to English-language resources and services. They also have their own institutions, although French is now part of these institutions. Anglophones living in and around Montreal are better served in their language than anywhere else in the province.
