Most Bermudians have at least 3 accents each. These are summoned at will & interchangeably. A North American will hear something high-pitched & exuberant & take it for the Queen’s English. A Brit will hear long vowels & correct middle-tones which seem to them direct from the American South. Another Bermudian will be greeted in a low-register chest voice with idiosyncratic words, a sometimey extra V, & – so it might seem to either American or Brit, who may not understand a thing – certain strange umlauts. Each Bermudian is polyphonic.

It comes from being in the middle. Smack in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean on top of a volcano. The nearest landmass is North Carolina, 640 mi or 1030 km west, whichever you find less confusing; but you should know that the Island, which is really an archipelago, is a British colony which is taught to think in km except on American television, which is ubiquitous & devoted to mi. So each Bermudian is tangled up & isolated. The place is rife & jam-packed with favourites & favorites in loads & tons of colorful colours. Most confounding of all is the multicolo(u)red polyphonic conservative majority, which is officially, religiously uncomfortable with nonconformity.

That’s what makes it so much fun & devilishly depressing to write about. Mandy-Suzanne Wong, a born Bermudian of Jamaican parentage & confusing Afro-Chino-Cuban heritage, loves motley-timbred fiction
