New Brunswick - northern part Acadian French, and English everywhere else. It is the only officially bilingual province in Canada. Nova Scotia - mostly English, with a French area on the north coast of Cape Breton, and still a few Gaelic speakers, mostly on Cape Breton. Newfoundland - English, sort of. Pretty different sounding in some places.
