New York-New Jersey English

The variety of the English language spoken in the New York City and North Jersey region is often considered to be one of the most recognizable accents within American English.

Internal Geographic Variation

It is often claimed that the dialect varies by neighborhood or borough, or that Lawn Guylanders speak in a particular manner. This may be true, although no published study has found any feature that varies in this way beyond local names. Impressions that the dialect changes may be a byproduct of class and/or ethnic variation.
