What most people call the dialect spoken in Staten Island,
Bayonne and parts of Long Island. The actual Northern NJ accent today is a
mellowed version of a New York Accent, which in itself has its origins in the original British accent. (As NY was a Tory region for so long.) NYers tend to drop their R's more than NJers but otherwise pronounce words like coffee and talk as (kawfey) and (
tawk) And New York like Nu-yawk.)
