Most importantly about a new jersey accent, NO ONE SAYS JOISEY. I dont know how this myth got started, but it just dosent exist. People from south, central, and north Jersey have different accents. People from south Jersey are more likely to say the word "daughter" as "daater", while people from north Jersey are more likely to say "dawter". I'm from central Jersey and i say "dawter" and also "mairy", not "marry". But it all depends where you're from. Most people sound like they're from Philly, but not everyone, especially if you're from Jersey City. And no, not all the girls have thick, stereotypical, nasal "joisey" accents.
Jersey Girl: I'm from central Jersey.
Guy from Western state (in a nasal voice): Uhhh, yuh frum JOISEY! Wheyahs ya new joisey akksend?
Jersey Girl: I'm not from JOISEY, and no one has that sort of new jersey accent, stupid!

Get the New Jersey Accent mug.A New York accent, or New York dialect, is one of the more recognizable American accents. It refers to the greater New York metropolitan area (including the 5 boroughs, Long Island, Westchester County, the lower Hudson Valley & surrounding parts of Connecticut & New Jersey). Upstate New Yorkers have their own accents which are entirely different from the stereotypical "New York" accent.
Individuals with a trained ear can differentiate between the accents of each of the boroughs (or the surrounding areas), though all are very similar. Generally, Manhattanites do not have a common accent, as many do not originate from the New York metropolitan area.
A slightly lesser percentage of Generation Y-ers speak with a full-blown New York accent, compared with those of prior generations. The accent of Generation Y-ers tends to be less severe than those of their elders, sometimes practically undetectable, with the exception of certain words.
Notable differences between Standard American English & New York dialect include:
1. Nonstandard pronunciation:
♦ "AW" sound is prolonged (talk/tawwk)
♦ Hard "G" sound (Long Island/Lawnguyland)
♦ Dropping final consonants (want/wan)
♦ Dropping "R" sounds (morning/mawning)
♦ Adding "R" sounds (idea/idear, soda/soder)
♦ Dropping "G" endings (calling/callin)
♦ Substituting "D", "T" for "TH" (those/doze, three/tree)
2. Nonstandard resonance, resulting in a heavy sound.
3. Generally fast rate of speech.
4. Hypernasality.
