New York accent
Manhattan speech pattern
A New York accent is the distinctive way of speaking associated with New York City, characterized by features like dropped r's after vowels, a raised "aw" sound in words like *coffee* and *talk*, and "d" sounds replacing "th": I'm walkin' here!
The accent varies across boroughs and ethnic communities, with Brooklyn and Bronx varieties being particularly recognizable.
Once common in film and television, it has faded somewhat among younger generations.
