Description[edit | edit source]
The predominant language on Bermuda is Bermudian English. It exhibits characteristics of English as spoken on the Atlantic Seaboard of the United States of America (especially in the region around Virginia), in the Canadian Maritimes, southern England, and parts of the British West Indies. [1]
Standard English is used in professional settings and in writing, while vernacular Bermudian English is spoken on more casual occasions. [2]
British English spellings and conventions are used in print media and formal written communications. [3]
