New Jersey black accent.

southern NJ dudes talk similar to Philly dudes (aka Camden), Northern NJ blacks speak similar New Yorkers (aka Newark).

I feel like having an accent education.

What are some words or phrases throughout Jersey not used in Philly or NY?

Oh and you can add Wilmington Delaware to this topic as well. Do them Wilmington dudes have the same accent as Philly?

People in Trenton got a distinct accent. Can’t really describe it.
South Jersey and Philly have different slangs depending how far you go. I know people out Pleasantville and AC that never even been to Philly.

People from Newark, Irvington, Paterson,EO, that area don’t sound like New Yorkers although they are close by. You can tell. Accent and slang be different.

That makes sense Atlantic City is almost as far away from philly as NYC. Maybe 30 minute difference.

I’m also curious to know how related is Bridgeport and New Haven CT slang is to NY.

Philly to AC is about a hour on the AC Expressway. Philly to NY 2 hours plus.

I was going by my gps in real time currently at 3 am. I live in southern Brooklyn but right now it says 1 hour 37 to Philly and 1 hour 7 minutes from AC to Philly.

I’m in Jersey all the time and never paid my mind to how they speak since they sound just as east coast as New Yorkers. Their accent didn’t seem obviously different like it does in Philly.

I’m speaking about Newark, Irvington and The Oranges.

Not really familair with Jersey City like that.

Or they be like ‘you blowing me’ or ‘you blowing my shyt’...
