I've been living in Connecticut for 40 years but my Brooklyn accent is still inside me. You can take the girl out of Brooklyn, but you can't take Brooklyn out of the girl.

Please talk like that all the time, I heard this accent is dying out. Keep it alive.

Manchester Wine it is slowly dying out. Not quite as fast as the Non Rhotic southern accent, but if you take a trip out on the south shore of Long Island you'll pretty much be surrounded by it.

I’ve noticed that it tends to be older generations (40s and older) who still sound like this; younger people tend to have more of a standard American accent. I have heard younger people speak with prominent NY accents, but it doesn’t seem to be as common.

@meriharary 3 жыл бұрын

So true that this is dying out. I don’t really talk like this, but my family did/does. Must have passed away. But my aunt and cousins still sound like this. I grew up with this accent and it’s like being bilingual. It’s like my second (or maybe first) language. I feel like I lost some of my identity when I moved to CT back in 1972. I’ve noticed that my every day speaking voice now has more “Brooklyn” in it. I think I have been hiding my true accent for a long tone to fit in. Now I’ve embraced it!!

Most people under 40 don't have much of an accent and that's true everywhere. Where I live in Alabama, most 20-somethings could pass for California. Sad to see. I like to hear just about any accent.

this is exactly how my relatives sound. very strong brooklyn accent, my grandparents and their siblings grew up together in the same neighborhood. if anyone is wondering how there are multiple different new york accents, its divided between Italian, Irish, and German immigrant populations. Brooklyn is influenced by Irish, and while there are still pockets of Irish immigrant neighborhoods in new york, theyre starting to be taken down and people are moving away. the more "stereotypical" new york accent is influenced by Italian, which has been the case since The Godfather released.

I am Ca-NAY-dian being a goof with my own daughter and “put on” a New “Yohk” accent, particularly the word “tired”. I said to her that it sounded mostly “like Brooklyn” and searched here straight over to you. This is cute and such a treasure as the little guy who made this would be 22 (!) now? Anyway, I do wish you’d said “ti-ahed” in your talk but I love it. Now I need to actually take her to Brooklyn!

@meriharary Жыл бұрын

Hi! What a nice comment! Yes, I wish you could hear how I say “tired.” It’s more like “tiyud.” My son was 10 when he filmed this and now he is 20 in college studying to be a doctor and pianist. I have 3 other kids as well, 18, 17 and 15. I will always miss my old neighborhood in Canarsie, Brooklyn. That neighborhood from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s doesn’t exist anymore. I’m sure the new 2023 neighborhood is great too.

I grew up in Brooklyn's run down Bush Terminal section in the 1950's/60's. All thru grammar, junior, and high schools they painstakingly tried to teach us proper annunciation and NOT to have an accent so we could go anywhere and not be pegged as a Brooklynite. I've been away since 1987 and still get comments. Ain't no accent like Brooklynese, fuhgeddaboudit.

Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island, Da Bronx accents are unfortunately starting to disappear with the influx of Foreigners into the Boroughs…Being Italian from L.I. With Roots in Brooklyn meant something special with family reunions. Listening to my Uncles & Cousins Tawk was like being Cradled in a Big Loaf of Bread dipped in Sunday Sauce…The Accents, Food, Music & Culture are quickly Passing Away like ALL of my Uncles, Aunts, Parents and Cousins…. Moving to South Florida seemed to have Ripped the tastebuds out of my Mouth and the ears from my Head…. When people say, “The World is One Big Melting Pot”…I Cringe and say, “I Liked it More when it was a Salad of Different Taste”…. J-E-T-S !!!!!
