This is not a B quality article

[edit]

I checked the page log for this article. It was assessed B by the article creator. I do not see any documentation here or in the article history or article talk history indicating that it was assessed as a B-class article. It is basically just a list of phrases used by visitors and scientists who go to Antarctica. There is inadequate sourcing and content to consider it anything more than Start or possibly a Stub.

Accent and possible dialect at the Scott Base

[edit]

Looking at the references, the majority discuss a putative "new accent" which involves a slight vowel shift. One mentions a "dialect" as something that may be emerging at the Scott Base. These are mostly with reference to the Scott Base. I see no support for a coherent "Antarctic English", primarily a number of jargons and some local vocabularies from disparate English speaking places of southerly latitude.

Amusingly the dialect ref includes "certain conditions facilitate this particular event, such as [LIST THEM]." Ooops! All the best: Rich Farmbrough 09:49, 30 January 2025 (UTC).Reply
There's also "smoko", which has its own page saying it's also used in Australia and New Zealand. It's definitely not unique. SenshiSun (talk) 04:36, 24 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
