		English mariners probably fished in Canadian waters even before John CABOT'S voyage of 1497; Dr John Dee, Queen Elizabeth I's astrologer, who was interested in the discovery of the NORTHWEST PASSAGE, found evidence to suggest that 2 Bristol merchants - Thorne and Eliot - may have reached Newfoundland c 1494.
		English merchants financed several voyages at the beginning of the 16th century, and as early as 1527 the harbour of ST JOHN'S became a rendezvous site for fishing vessels.
		The first waves of English immigration contributed greatly to the farming population in the rural areas and to the skilled artisan population in the towns, but after WWII many English immigrants were professionals, technicians or individuals concerned in various ways with the arts.

	Hiberno-English - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		English as it is spoken in Ireland is the result of the Irish language and the interaction of the English and Scots varieties brought to Ireland during the Plantations of Ireland in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
		The early English settlement of Ireland occurred around the same time as England's settlement of the Caribbean colonies, which partially accounts for phonological similarities shared by West Indian dialects and Hiberno-English.
		It is not a parallel of the English word "fucking", despite their similarity, and is generally less offensive.

	English Settlement: Newfoundland and Labrador Heritage
		The initial establishment of a British population in Newfoundland can be traced to the English colonizing schemes in the early 17th century, particularly the planting of a colony at Cupers Cove (Cupids, Conception Bay) by the London and Bristol Company in 1610, and the southern Avalon plantation.
		Throughout the 17th century the settled population was augmented by fishermen and their families from the English fishing fleets engaged in the migratory cod fishery.
		Settlements that came to be occupied each winter were rarely occupied for many years by the same people, but some families did persist.

	American English
		The English that was brought to America in seventeenth century was, of course, the language--or versions of the language--of Early Modern England.
		English is destined to be in the next and succeeding centuries more generally the language of the world than Latin was in the last or French is in the present age.
		American English is regarded as having preserved archaic features which have since been altered in British English--i.e., American speech maintained features of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century English--such as the preservation of r in most dialects, and "flat a" [æ] as in "path": features that were lost in southern England at the end of the eighteenth century.

	Early English Settlement
		English loyalty and patriotism asserted their power in the hearts of these exiles for conscience sake.
		They patriotically declined this generous proposal because they wished to live on "English land," somewhere within the bounds of the North Virginia domain, the proprietors whereof were then contemplating vast schemes of colonization under a new charter which they hoped to obtain from the king.
		They were assailed by a few Indians who knew the English as kidnappers, for it was only a few years before that Hunt had carried away more than a score of their people.

	eHistLing - World-Wide English
		The Englishes spoken in Australia and New Zealand were strongly infleunced by its early settlers and the close relationship to the United Kingdom due to their status as white-settler colonies of the British Empire.
		Given the importance of English for international communication, it is not surprising that many countries – including Switzerland – conceive it necessary to teach English to children in their very salad days.
		While it is true that English has ‘conquered’ ground from many other native languages and is not always used for the sake of communicative functionality, this attitude nevertheless neglects that it is the speakers themselves who govern the use and spread of a language.

	The Protestant Idea of America
		The English, however, particularly concentrated on the agricultural resources of North America, particularly the trade in tobacco and cotton (which was also exported from India).
		Because they were primarily agricultural settlements, the English government did not see much profit in supporting them; moreover, becase they were primarily settled by religious radicals, the governments of James I and later Charles I saw no reason to help them thrive through favorable mercantilist policies.
		For the most part, however, America was religious settlement and a largely Protestant one at that (with the exception of Maryland which was settled by English Catholics and Virginia which was settled by radical Anglicans).

	XTC: English Settlement - Musik CDer
		English Settlement is a watershed work for XTC that provides a valuable link between the band they had been (caustic, high pitched, and quirky) and the band they became (sublime, pastoral, and still undeniably quirky).
		No doubt a huge shock when it came out, "English Settlement" finds XTC abandoning the punk, ska and new wave trappings of their early records for something wholly different-- 12 string guitars, pastoral framings and midtempos dominate this sprawling double album that points way to the future of the band.
		For all my complaints about it, "English Settlement" is a fairly enjoyable album, but it was clearly a transition, and with a piece as strong as "Mummer" around the corner, it's hard to consider this one without that.

	OBHS Freeholder Magazine Online: The Early Settlement of Oyster Bay
		The Dutch allowed the English to make settlements within their territory provided the English settlers swore an oath to the Dutch Directors and paid their tithes; one tenth of all their crops were taken by the Dutch as taxes.
		The Dutch were aware of the English claims to all the territory between the 40th and 48th parallels but they believed that since the English had not actually established settlements throughout the territory it was fair game for them to claim part of the territory.
		English trappers began trapping in Maine and the Maritimes for the Plymouth Company, which was followed by the Plymouth Company's settlement at Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1620.

	First English Settlement
		Thus, the birth of Virginia Dare, in the "Citie of Raleigh in Virginia," August 18, 1587, first child of English parentage to be born in the New World, was a prophetic symbol of the future rise of a new English-speaking nation beyond the seas.
		In the meantime, the English were engaged in what would be called today a "cold war"-- pin-pricking the Spaniard in the West Indies and about to settle on the American mainland at a spot sufficiently close to Spanish Florida to constitute both an economic and a military threat to Spain.
		Growth of the English colony would circumscribe Spain's own colonial effort; at the same time, the location chosen for the English colony was close enough to serve as a base of operations against Spanish new world ship- ping.

	American Dialects
		As a result, the people who speak English in these countries are largely descended from English immigrants and other immigrants who assimilated to the local variety of English.
		This fact should be compared to the divergence of English from continental dialects of West Germanic in the early Middle Ages, or to the profound changes in English between 1100 and 1300.
		But between the first English settlement in America (mid-1600s) and the first settlement of Australia and New Zealand (after 1800), the sound disappeared (for unknown reasons) in the South of England.

		To combat this sort of confusion, scholars of English placenames collect as many early forms of a name as possible and analyze them in the light of their knowledge of language and dialect, grammar, pronunciation, topography, sound shifts and other relevant factors.
		Because this was generally a settlement of political overlords rather than of large groups of people, this did not cause massive renamings nationally or locally.
		The waves of conquest and settlement were accompanied by new languages, each of which left their mark on English placenames.

	Chalkhills: Reviews: XTC: "English Settlement"
		For all these reasons, it was a watershed record, one that took what the band had done to that point, incorporated it, and went to an entirely different level, while at the same time marking the path for what came after.
		While its early albums were marked by dissonance and spontaneous idiosyncrasy, and its later work by calculated craft, the aptly titled English Settlement does indeed find XTC settled for the moment in a cozy creative knoll.
		1982's English Settlement is a pivotal album in their development, shying away from their overly frenetic sound to an only slightly frenetic sound.

		"English Settlement" was perhaps the work that put Andy Partridge on the same song-writing level as Elvis Costello.
		Luckily, those that did close their doors were forced to open them again when Dear God became an unexpected hit single (relatively speaking--it never broke the top 50 in the US but garnered much attention and airplay due to its topic).
		While English Settlement sounds unfinished to some of the former band members (Dave Gregory's opinion if I recall correctly), it also acts as a perfect snapshot of the band as they were poised to make the breakthrough to success just as The Police had.
