What you hear is a thick Bronx accent...

________________________________

The Bronx? Not even close. Canarsie.

There are very identifiable traits of a working class (White) Bronx accent, Sliwa has none of them.

The pronunciation of 'comfortable' is a dead Bronx give-away, it comes out...kahmf-te-bull.

My husband’s from the Bronx, I’m from Queens. We were at a party in France with some French policemen whose English was limited. Actually, we had been asked to meet with them so they could get accustomed to American accents. After speaking to them for awhile one of them asked me if my husband and I were from different states in America because our accents were so different.
