	Bermudian English - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bermudian English is the variety of English spoken in Bermuda, a British overseas territory in the North Atlantic.
		To a new listener, the former has something in common with the versions spoken in the West Indies, such as Jamaican English (although these two are actually quite different; that of the Bahamas is the closest match to the Bermudian variety).
		To British ears, Bermudian English among those of higher economic status now sounds similar to American English, although there are affinities with British English, namely the pronunciation of the letter 'z' as 'zed', not 'zee' (also found in Canadian English), and the use of 'football' as opposed to 'soccer', while British spelling is generally followed.

	British English - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		British English (BrE) is a term used to differentiate between the form of the English language used in the British Isles and those used elsewhere.
		Although British English is often used to denote the English spelling and lexicon used outside the U.S., this usage is not completely accurate, as almost all British spelling rules and the vast majority of British vocabulary are actually shared among the whole English-speaking world outside the U.S. (except Canada as far as lexicon is concerned).
		Historically, the widespread usage of English across the world is attributed to the former power of the British Empire, and hence the most common form of English used by the British ruling class that of south-east England (the area around the capital, London, and the ancient English university towns of Oxford and Cambridge).

		Jamaican English or Jamaican Standard English is a dialect of English encompassing in a unique way, parts and mergers of both American English and British English dialects.
		Although the distinction between the two is best described as a continuum rather than a solid line, it is not to be confused with what linguists call Jamaican Creole, nor with the vocabulary and language approach of the Rastafarian movement.
		The most noticeable aspect of Jamaican English for speakers of other varieties of English is the pronunciation or "accent".

		English is also an important minority language of South Africa (South African English), and in several other former colonies and current dependent territories of the United Kingdom and the United States, for example Mauritius.
		English is the most widely learned and used foreign language in the world, and as such, some linguists believe that it is no longer the exclusive cultural emblem of 'native English speakers', but rather a language that is absorbing aspects of cultures world-wide as it grows in use.
		English has been implicated in a number of historical and ongoing so-called 'language deaths' and 'linguicides' around the world, many of which have also led to the loss of cultural heritage.

		Jurisdiction, governing law and ‘follow-the-fortunes’ provisions in the reinsurance policies written by Bermudian companies will all have a significant impact on their exposure, determining the extent and strength of any challenge Bermudian companies may have to direct insurers’ rights to recover from them once the under-lying claims crystallise.
		Some Bermudian companies will therefore face inward claims which are hard to resist, while at the same time they may have difficulties with their outwards recoveries.
		Issues are bound to arise, for example, as to whether it was the hurricane that was responsible for the breach of the levees and whether sub-sequent losses were truly caused by windstorm or flood.

	A Limey In Bermuda: Follow your passion
		Bermudian culture has, I believe, become overwhelmingly pragmatic; the dominant trend in recent years has been for Bermudian students entering higher education to pursue degrees with a definite vocational bent, business and finance being the most popular.
		Any Bermudian encountering this stipulation will invariably evaluate the merits of their degree; such qualification on the part of international businesses casts a dubious light on the potential job prospects for non-business grads.
		The responsibility of Bermudian society as a whole is to be competitive, financially and, in a sense, intellectually.

		In 1663, most Bermudian landholders owned fifty acres or less, and the size of the average landholding diminished markedly during the next hundred years.
		Indeed, white Bermudians, unnerved by the discovery of a slave conspiracy in 1673, passed a law the following year to prohibit the traffic in "Negroes, Indians, and Mallatoes."
