Information: Newfoundland and Labrador (French, Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador) is Canada's tenth province. Its capital is St. John's. "Newfoundland" is generally pronounced "new-fun-LAND" by Canadians.
Geographically, the province consists of the island of Newfoundland and the mainland Labrador, on Canada's Atlantic coast. Since 1964 the province has referred to itself at a provincial level as "Newfoundland and Labrador", but federally the name "Newfoundland" was used to assuage a dispute with Quebec over a portion of Labrador. In October 2001, a constitutional amendment was passed by the Senate, the House of Commons and the House of Assembly changing the official name to "Newfoundland and Labrador". This amendment came into force on December 6, 2001.
The province's population is 533 800 (Newfoundlanders and Labradorians). Newfoundland has its own dialect of English known as Newfoundland English.
