“that accent has died even on NY”

I have been told that the New York accent is changing as immigrants from South and East Asia and Latin America move in to replace the descendants of Irish, Italian, and East European immigrants who created the original New York accent.

Yep, the US born children of Asian, Latin American, and middle eastern immigrants tend to speak social media English without a regional accent, usually after trying to speak Ebonics from age 14-18. 😂
