مارثاز ڤنيارد (Martha's Vineyard ؛ وامپانواگ: [Noepe] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)) هي جزيرة تقع جنوب كيپ كد في مساتشوستس، وتُعرف بكونها مستعمرة اصطياف الأثرياء. وتضم جزيرة تشاپاكوِدِك الأصغر، التي كانت حتى عام 2007 جزء من نفس الكتلة الأرضية قبل أن تفصلها عاصفة.
Often called just "The Vineyard," the island has a land area of 100 square miles (260 km2). It is the 58th largest island in the United States and the third largest on the East Coast of the United States. It is also the largest island not connected to mainland by a bridge or tunnel on the East Coast of the United States.
It is located in the Commonwealth of مساتشوستس, as a part of Dukes County, which also includes Cuttyhunk, as well as the island of Nomans Land, which is a US Wildlife preserve, and was a US Naval practice bombing range until 1996. The Vineyard was also home to one of the earliest known deaf communities in the United States; consequently, a special sign language, Martha's Vineyard Sign Language (MVSL), developed on the island.
The 2010 census reported a year-round population of 16,535 residents;[1] however, the summer population can swell to over 100,000 people. About 56% of the Vineyard’s 14,621 homes are seasonally occupied.[2]
Martha's Vineyard is primarily known as a summer colony, and is accessible only by boat and air. However, its year-round population has grown considerably since the 1960s.[3][4]
A study by the Martha's Vineyard Commission found that the cost of living on the island is 60 percent higher than the national average and housing prices are 96 percent higher.[5] A study of housing needs by the Commission found that the average weekly wage on Martha's Vineyard was “71 per cent of the state average, the median home price was 54 per cent above the state’s and the median rent exceeded the state’s by 17 per cent.”[6]

التاريخ
الاستكشاف
Originally inhabited by the Wampanoag, Martha's Vineyard was known in their language as Noepe, or "land amid the streams." In 1642 the Wampanoag numbered somewhere around 3,000 on the island. By 1764, that number had dropped to 313.[7]
العصر الحديث
The linguist William Labov wrote his MA essay on changes in the Martha's Vineyard dialect of English.[8] The 1963 study is widely recognized as a seminal work in the foundation of sociolinguistics.[9]
