Tenth and last province to enter the Canadian Confederation on March 23, 1949; its territory comprises an insular portion, the Island of Newfoundland, and a continental one, Labrador, attached to the province of Quebec. With the royal assent of December 6, 2001, officially amending the Constitution of Canada and making effective the law previously adopted by the House of Commons, the name of the province was changed from "Newfoundland" (abbreviation: "Nfld.") to "Newfoundland and Labrador" (abbreviation: "N.L."), thus approving the name and abbreviation determined by the provincial Cabinet. 3, record 2, English, - Newfoundland%20and%20Labrador
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The name of a province and its form, spelling and abbreviation are to be decided by the provincial toponymy authority, with the agreement of the Government of Canada. One uses "province of Newfoundland and Labrador" for the geographical entity, "Province of Newfoundland and Labrador" for the provincial administration, "Newfoundland and Labrador" as the short form, and "N.L." as the abbreviation. Note the absence of hyphenation and the abbreviation without a space between the two elements abbreviated by their initial letter with a period, as the rule requires in English. When used alone, "Labrador" is abbreviated by "Lab.". The new designation "Newfoundland and Labrador" remains singular because the entity is still a unit. 3, record 2, English, - Newfoundland%20and%20Labrador

Approved by ISO, the Canada Post two-character symbol changed from NF (or CA-NF) to NL (or CA-NL) on October 21, 2002. This symbol is the same in all languages and must be used only in postal addresses and statistical charts where the identification of provinces and territories is restricted to two characters. A two-character provincial symbol must not be used instead of the abbreviation in a text or on a geographical map, a poster or a road sign. Do not confuse the country subdivision code or symbol NL (or CA-NL) representing Newfoundland and Labrador, with the country code or symbol NL representing the Netherlands. 3, record 2, English, - Newfoundland%20and%20Labrador

Dixième et dernière province à entrer dans la Confédération canadienne le 23 mars 1949; son territoire comprend une portion insulaire, l'île de Terre-Neuve, et une portion continentale, le Labrador, qui partage une frontière avec le Québec. Par la sanction royale du 6 décembre 2001 modifiant la Constitution du Canada et permettant l'entrée en vigueur de la loi adoptée par la Chambre des communes, son nom est officiellement changé de «Terre-Neuve» (abréviation : «T.-N.») à «Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador» (abréviation : «T.-N.-L.»), entérinant ainsi le nom et l'abréviation préalablement choisis par le Cabinet provincial. 3, record 2, French, - Terre%2DNeuve%2Det%2DLabrador

Le nom d'une province, sa graphie et la façon de l'abréger dépendent de l'autorité toponymique provinciale, avec l'assentiment du Gouvernement du Canada. On utilise «province de Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador» pour désigner l'entité géographique, «Province de Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador» pour signifier l'administration provinciale, «Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador» comme désignation courante, et «T.-N.-L.» comme abréviation. Notez les traits d'union dans toutes ces graphies et l'absence d'article devant le mot «Labrador» qui, utilisé seul, s'abrège «Lr» sans point, la lettre «r» étant la dernière du mot. La nouvelle entité «Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador» demeure féminin singulier puisque le tout ne fait encore qu'un, et n'est précédée d'aucun article. 3, record 2, French, - Terre%2DNeuve%2Det%2DLabrador

Avec l'approbation de l'ISO, l'indicatif à deux lettres de Postes Canada change officiellement de NF (ou CA-NF) à NL (ou CA-NL) le 21 octobre 2002; il est le même dans toutes les langues et ne doit être utilisé que dans une adresse ou un tableau statistique où l'identification des provinces et territoires est restreinte à deux caractères. L'indicatif à deux lettres d'une province ne devrait pas être utilisé au lieu de l'abréviation dans un texte, sur une carte géographique, une affiche ou un panneau routier. Ne pas confondre le code de subdivision de pays NL (ou CA-NL) représentant Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador, avec le code de pays NL qui représente les Pays-Bas. 3, record 2, French, - Terre%2DNeuve%2Det%2DLabrador

Aunque algunos sostienen que los nombres que terminan en "a" son femeninos y los que terminan en otra vocal o consonante son masculinos, generalmente se hace la concordancia con el sustantivo femenino ciudad, o provincia, según sea el caso. 2, record 2, Spanish, - Terranova%20y%20Labrador
