Patagonian regional dialects

The Patagonian regional dialects, formally the Patagonian English regional dialect continuum, are a series of regional dialects and varieties of English spoken in Patagonia, formed as a result of extensive inter-cultural communication between multiple ethnic and national groups in Patagonia.

Welsh English is the substrate dialect for Patagonian English, although its sound inventory resembles that of New Zealand English. Loanwords from Rioplatense Spanish, Mapudungun, Tehuelche and Irish Gaelic are present.

Northern Patagonian dialects

 * Araucany: Concentrated in Araucany and to some extent Neuquén and the Meliepully metropolitan area, the dialect was formed by English and French settlers and the Mapuche people. it is a mixture of Mapuche and English with French, bits of Swiss German and Chilean Spanish. A small community of speakers of the dialect is also concentrated in Port Byron.
 * Neuquén: Created by Irish, Spanish, and American settlers, their dialect is primarily spoken in the province of Neuquén and nearby Bariloche, although there are a few speakers of it concentrated in Araucany, Rio Negro and Patagonia's largest city, Meliepully. It is a mix of English with Argentine Spanish, Swiss German and Irish.
 * Rio Negro: Made up of mostly Irish and Scottish settlers (with some being Czechs and Sudeten Germans), their dialect is mostly spoken in Rio Negro. It combines Irish English, Mapudungun, Scots, some German and some American English.

Western Patagonian dialects

 * Seelandic: It is spoken in Seeland (including the city of Meliepully), northwestern Chubut and Bariloche City, and is a combination of English with German. Those speaking the dialect were descendants of the original inhabitants of Seeland, mostly Germans from the Palatinate, the Rhineland, Prussia and Bavaria, and English people from the Midlands and East Anglia.
 * Meliepully English: Known as gamer speak due to it being the primary dialect used by gamers in Patagonia, it is one of two dialects that are the basis of standard Patagonian English. It mixes the Welsh and Irish varieties of English and German with loanwords from Yiddish, Afro-Patagonian English, Cantonese and Italian as well as a vocabulary based on late 2010's Internet meme culture.
 * Ajsenska: The dialect is formed from the admixture of English, Chiloe and Swedish settlers and the Aonikenk and Chono people. As a consequence, the dialect mixes English and Swedish with Aonikenk, Spanish and Finnish loanwords.

Central and Eastern Patagonian dialects

 * Chubut: Formed by Welsh, Southern English and Cornish settlers, their dialect is spoken mostly in Chubut and Esperance, and is a mixture of English and Welsh. This is one of two dialects forming the primary basis of standard Patagonian English.
 * Esperance: A subdialect, spoken mostly in northern Magellania due to many settlers hailing from Chubut. The only difference it has with the Chubut accent is the addition of Russian loanwords.
 * Byronite: Those speaking the dialect are, albeit not necessarily, the inhabitants of Port Byron, Patagonia's capital city, and are descended from the original settlers of the city: Welsh, Irish, Bulgarians, Latvians, Cornish, Italians, Mennonites and Boers. Their dialect is primarily exclusive to the Port Byron metropolitan area, and combines English and Welsh with loanwords from Italian, Afrikaans, Mennonite Low German, Bulgarian, Cornish and Latvian.
 * Crocigiani: Formed by English, Italian and Basque settlers, speakers of the dialect live in Santa Croce and to a lesser extent Port Byron, and is a mixture of English, Italian and Basque.
 * Falklandic: Formed by Scottish, Welsh and Argentine settlers, this dialect is spoken mainly in the Falklands, but also in Gallegos, Meliepully, Porto Desiderio and also the capital Port Byron. The dialect mixes English with some Rioplatense Spanish and French loanwords.

Southern Patagonian dialects

 * Gueryke: The dialect was formed as a result of the admixture of settlers from Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Orkney Islands with the local Tehuelche. English is the main basis while there are multiple Scottish Gaelic, Scots and Tehuelche loanwords. It is notable that it pronounces R's with a rolling burr, similar to the Southland Burr in New Zealand.
 * Magellanian: The dialect is spoken in Magellania and southern Gueryke. Speakers of the dialect were formed by the mixture of English, Scots-Irish, Croatian and Swiss German settlers. As a result, it is a mixture of Welsh English with Croatian, German, Russian, Scots and some Romansh.
 * Fireland: Although almost similar to the Magellanian dialect, it is still considered separate due to the larger Croatian influence. Haitian Creole, Slovene and Bosnian loanwords are also present.
