Language Variation in Canada
Welcome to the homepage for a project that I have really enjoyed working on-- bringing together many wonderful online resources that are available to explore different linguistic varieties in Canada. This site includes links to bibliographies, online recordings, linguistic descriptions, course syllabi, and much more, for the First Nations (indigenous), Official (French and English), and Heritage (more recent immigrant) languages of Canada.
