The accent of people from Philadelphia and South Jersey, please people do NOT confuse North & South Jersey, North Jersey is more like New York.
A Philly area accent pronounces words such as boat like boot, grass has a long A not a short A, the same for ass and other such words, we're not from England it's a LONG A!!!
Water is wooder
Phone sounds like phoon
This isn't an accent, but a way of life for people who speak in Philly, it is a HOAGIE not a sub, a sub goes in the water not in your mouth!
Oh, and if you diss a Philly team, especially the Eagles, you will hear plenty of the accent in cuss words and may forget this accent because of the blunt force to your head!

Cindy could not tell whether the bag boy at the supermarket was from a foreign country or if it was just his Saint Jude Accent showing through.

Common of British Americans, a dialect of English that’s not quite British and not quite American. As when you go “across the pond” the middle is the Atlantic between the UK and USA, the perfect compromise.

Girls and boys from Staten Island have these "accents". Mostly girls, but also some boys. Some are very thick, and some aren't. We 'staten islanders' pronounce COFFEE as CAWFFEE. sometime's it is hard to understand what we're saying. Not ALL people from staten island have staten island accents. People usually describe the accent by telling us we add an extra "A" to the end of some words.

A New York Accent is how working class whites in the city speak. It involves dropping r's off words that have them (father-fatha) and adding them to words that don't (soda-sodar). Changing and adding "oi" in words (oil-erl). Pronouncing the "th" as a "d" or "t" (the-da)(through-trew). There are three major New York accents:Italian, Irish, and Jewish. Blacks speak differently that would not be considered a New York accent. The New York Accent is more prominant in older people and is being lost in younger people as they imitate fake upper class whites from the midwest that they see on tv.
