Terranova y Labrador

"Terranova y Labrador (en inglés: Newfoundland and Labrador; en francés: Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador) es una provincia atlántica de Canadá, el duodécimo territorio en unirse a la Confederación Canadiense. Geográficamente, la provincia se compone de la isla de Terranova y una porción de la península del Labrador, en la costa atlántica. Cuando el entonces Dominio de Terranova se unió a la confederación en 1949, la provincia se conoció como Terranova, pero desde 1964, el gobierno de la provincia se ha referido a sí mismo como el "Gobierno de Terranova y Labrador", y el 6 de diciembre de 2001, se aprobó una enmienda a la Constitución de Canadá para cambiar el nombre de la provincia a "Terranova y Labrador."La población de la provincia se estima (en abril de 2008) en 508.270 habitantes.Terranova tiene sus propios dialectos de inglés, francés, irlandés y otras lenguas. El dialecto inglés de Labrador comparte mucho con el de Terranova. Por otra parte, Labrador tiene sus propios dialectos de innu-aimun e inuktitut."

"Newfoundland and Labrador (/njufnlænd n læbrdr/, French: Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador, Irish: Talamh an Éisc), is the most easterly province of Canada. Situated in the country's Atlantic region, it comprises the island of Newfoundland and mainland Labrador to the northwest, with a combined area of 405,212 square kilometres (156,500 sq mi). In 2013, the province's population was estimated at 526,702. About 92% of the province's population lives on the island of Newfoundland (and its neighbouring smaller islands), of whom more than half live on the Avalon Peninsula. The province is Canada's most linguistically homogeneous, with 97.6% of residents reporting English (Newfoundland English) as their mother tongue in the 2006 census. Historically, Newfoundland was also home to unique varieties of French and Irish, as well as the extinct Beothuk language. In Labrador, local dialects of Innu-aimun and Inuktitut are also spoken. Newfoundland and Labrador's capital and largest city, St. John's, is Canada's 20th-largest census metropolitan area, and is home to almost 40 percent of the province's population. St. John's is the seat of government, home to the House of Assembly of Newfoundland and Labrador and to the highest court in the jurisdiction, the Newfoundland and Labrador Court of Appeal. A former colony then dominion of the United Kingdom, Newfoundland and Labrador became the tenth province to enter the Canadian Confederation on March 31, 1949, as "Newfoundland". On December 6, 2001, an amendment was made to the Constitution of Canada to change the province's official name to Newfoundland and Labrador. In day-to-day conversation, however, Canadians generally still refer to the province itself as Newfoundland and that part of it on the Canadian mainland as Labrador."
