Part 2/7:

  1. Dropped 'R': A hallmark of the New York accent is the omission of the ‘R’ sound at the end of words. For instance, "car" becomes "caw," and "far" is pronounced as "fah."

  2. Hard 'TH' Sound: The ‘TH’ in words often transforms into a dental sound. For example, "think" is pronounced like "tink," changing the 'th' into a 't' sound.

  3. Vowel Shift: The ‘A’ sound in words like "walk" and "talk" becomes more pronounced, sounding closer to “wok” and “tok.”

For those intrigued by mastering this accent, there are many resources available for deeper exploration.
