I grant that I may be being too finicky here. But it seems to me that
"en-CA-u-sd-canl" means "whatever English(es)" are spoken in Newfoundland
and Labrador, rather than the specific variety Newfoundland English.
It seems to me that since I live in NYC and speak English, that I
necessarily speak "en-US-u-sd-nyc", even though I do not speak English
with the New York City accent (non-rhotic, PRICE-CHOICE-merging,
non-hurry-furry-merging, etc.), which would be hypothetically
"en-US-nynyc".
