I thought it was funny, I dunno what people are so uptight about.

***** Thanks, I dunno why either, but this is youtube after all.

The "Queens" accent in this video is actually a Jewish accent. What is more noticeable about Queens is some odd breaks on syllables. For example, LAWN GUY land in place of Long Island. Also pronunciation of certain vowels is very sharp and noticeable. "Merry, Mary, and Marry" are three separate words in Queens as in Long Island. Sometimes Queens and Long Island pronunciations are identical. Don't forget, the borough of Nassau was once Eastern Queens. Also, Queens is the most international borough with over 225 languages spoken in Western Queens alone.

I love it lol

White Blogger Black Specs She really is from Queens

+Taylor Craft or oh my god

I think it would’ve been better in the Queens accent!

I'm not even American, but a good American friend of mine says I speak with a mix of Manhattan and Brooklyn accent, lol. He says it's so good that it's hard at times to tell I don't even live in the US.

Queens!

That's Mrs. Chanandler Bong to you.

And Janice from Friends

Andrew Soto you beat me to it

+G -WM Well, they're in Rhode Island which is in the New England region.

PEE-TAH

story of my fucking life

😂😂😂 Hi-Five Queens Born New Yorker, moved to FL at 25 Now accent too Southern back home and I'm automatically "from New York" down here. Double Lol at the Queens accent because I am guilty 😂😂😂

Diziyer25 Queens born too :D

Seal Girl I sound "weird" in Queens and like a New Yorker in Cali lol

We're ALL OVER!! 😂😂😂😂 My Sunday included trying to use Google Voice to type up a document to save time.... 90% success ...all the time I spent correcting words after I was done, not even counting the medical terms. * forehead slap * 😂😂😂😂

Yup, migrated to Long Island. It's fascinating, isn't it. But the old school Brooklyn accent is still there in Brooklyn too. In the earlier part of when I lived there, (1997-2014), there were even still some old fellas who spoke in the even older old school "toidy toid and toid" accent. I didn't know that still existed in living people and I remember passing a couple of these guys and trying not to look too wide-eyed.

word she don't know.

queens is action Bronson

I’m 17 and I have that Queens accent that she demonstrates. Well it’s not so exaggerated. But it’s pretty obvious.

As someone who loves the uniqueness of accents, I hate how regional and area accents are just kinda dying in the wake of this generically dull midwestern/SoCali one.

@@foodreviews3454 Well he said, it's rare among younger people. That doesn't mean they all don't speak with that accent. There are some who do. They're just not as many.

I totally agree Larry.

100 percent agree

Bronx isn't that bad, c'mon I really wish people would stop acting like if step one toe into the Bronx you're gonna get hit with a flaming brick. The Puerto Rican/Dominican girls that I know that live in the Bronx have a very...laid back accent. Like their accents are very lol I guess lazy would be the word? Maybe you pronounce the consonants maybe you don't, maybe you make your vowels sound different...if thats your thing... hehehe

SmoochBoosh Never let them know how nice the Bronx is or it will be over-run like Astoria and you will have to move. Keep The New York Botanical Garden, City Island, Arthur Avenue, The Bronx Zoo, Wave Hill, and Van Cortland Park to yourselves.

Mary Finn True. Very. True. Brooklyn used to be quite the little gem, then hipster artists found out its cheaper than the Village and the rest is history.

This is truth

I read decades back that Archie was based on Yonkers...da Boyd sittin' on da coib....or whatever....

I live in Queens most of my life. No one in Queens sounds like Edit or Fran Drescher. There was another video on New York accents that was correct. There really isn't a distinct New York accent by borough. I agree with the comment above, it's more by nationality, the Italian-New York accent, the Puerto Rican-New York accent, Jewish-New York accent.

Apparently it was actually 1920's Brooklynese tho.

..who was from queens

Don't come back unless you bring me grand children!!

Hahahahha

Oh...wait, apparently I have seen it before? I see my likes here and there. Well, NOT a measure of how memorable this is, but rather the extreme stress I've been under. But it was LIKE discovering it for the first time, which is pretty great. So my comment stands. : )

Is there a pain, as she said?

@@nox7282 hell no we’re the worlds borough queens is lit, a lot of people hate on us

I wish you could give some examples, like Coney vs. Fort Greene or Red Hook vs. Brownsville.

Yeah, this guy gets it lmao

Lol right

But NYC used to be more Jewish. It is accurate if she is doing 30 years ago or so.

Same 👍💪

Yup.

NADIRA DUTT YEAH

Y'all don't speak like that in this video tho lol

Boogie down Bronxxx

This is awful. She found one ethnic enclave , picked a stereotypical rendition of that accent . Then did variations of it for each borough.

it is accurate for 30 years ago too many transplants here now!

If you are from New York, then speak with a new York accent. Don't speak with a standard American accent, that's boring. Keep ny culture alive and speak with the accent.

and manhattan kids still talk like this -- busy city

She does, by her own admission, a hybrid of Brooklyn and Boston.

Yes! Many of you, at least.

Bowstan

Jeez are you illiterate or something?

Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it.

Google Amy Walker, seeing her do accents live is even more hilarious!!!

WAIT, so the brooklyn accent is not an italian accent? ive met many jews in brooklyn, and they speak regular american accent... i imagine the old people like bernie sanders are only speaking with brooklyn jewish accent.

From queens born and raised Completely agree

Yeah, it's definitely just the Jewish accents that she was doing.

I just read your whole comment with Andrew Dice Clay’s voice.

oue

en plus je comprend rien

Yeah people who speak that way moved to Nassau and beyond.

This is old school accents fool

@@scared_frr it's called sarcasm fool

lol I know this is an old post but I can confirm this. I live in San Diego and my boyfriend is from Brooklyn. I could listen to that accent all day lol 😉

+Pete Nyce , "NYC was murdered in the 1990s" Care to explain that?

+Quabledistocficklepo Sure - from the 1840s through the mid 1990s there existed a city call New York. New York City was a wild, ungovernable, seething mass of impoverished immigrants and newcomers who came to escape their native towns and live in single most diverse, deviant, and criminal city the world had ever known. NYC was the most important center of every type of business, art, and vice in the US, and in many ways the most powerful city in the world through the 20th century. There was nothing remotely like it anywhere else on earth. The city was controlled from the streets up and the powers that be had to constantly juggle different ethnic coalitions while allowing the city to be run by street level organized crime - First the Irish, then the Italian/Jewish alliance known as the Mob. NYC was a cheap place to live - a place anyone could come to and survive. NYC was a town in which the rich and poor shared everything and mingling block by block - and a city in which the poor so outnumbered the rich that the latter had to mind their manners. In the mid 90s secret deals were cut which unleashed the always corrupt NYPD and turned the city over to a backroom coaliton of real estate interests. In the years since the city has been transformed into a bastion of 1% yuppie privilege as corrupt foreign money from all over the world has flooded in to buy up real estate and push out New Yorkers. The city that stands where NYC used to stand is a yuppie disneyland now run by corporate organized crime. No one creative can afford to live there anymore. What was once a place most of the world feared and people moved to to escape conformity is now the exact opposite - a place the dullest and most ambitious yuppies eagerly flock to. A place that looks little different from any shopping mall in the world. Bottom line is - if you were ever in the real NYC you wouldn't have to ask what I mean. Totally different places.

+Pete Nyce Very nice history lesson. I often visited relatives in Queens (and toured the city) in the '60s and up into the '00s. A sizable, rent-controlled, two-bedroom apartment in Sunnyside: $500/month. Coming from a Midwestern suburban b.g., my brother and I found it raw and a little threatening, but exciting. Old Times Square was the best (as a young adult). The degenerates. The hookers. The sex shows. The porn.

+Pete Nyce Well, to me, Brooklyn os Disneyland, never liked to go to Brooklyn lol.
