Canada is home to between 32 and 36 regional French accents and Quebec houses 14 of these. All of them descend from the same French of New France but have appeared due to prolonged isolation from other francophones. There are 10 accents on the mainland; they are the regional accents of Gaspé, Bas-Saint-Laurent, Saguenay-Lac Saint-Jean, Québec-Charlevoix, Beauce, the Eastern Townships, Mauricie-Haute-Mauricie, Greater Montréal, Eastern Montréal-Laval and Rouyn-Noranda. There are 4 accents off the mainland, 1 on the Isle-aux-Coudres, and 3 on the Îles-de-la-Madeleine: the accents of "Villages Medelinots", "Havre-aux-Maisons" and "Havre-Aubert".
