  Boston accent - Wikipedia
The Boston accent is the dialect of English characteristic not only of the city of Boston itself, but more generally of all of eastern Massachusetts.
The traditional Boston accent is non-rhotic; in other words, the phoneme [r] does not appear at the end of a syllable or immediately before a consonant.
A feature that some Boston English speakers share with Received Pronunciation is the so-called Broad A: in some words that in other accents have [æ], such as half and bath, that vowel is replaced with [aː]: [haːf], [baːθ].

A caveat to be made when discussing the English spoken in Boston is that it is difficult to isolate a single variety that is prototypical of the region.

 Boston English
An earmark of Boston English is its r-lessness (or "r-dropping"), a pattern in which syllable-final /r/ is not pronounced.
A more accurate description of rhoticity in Boston English must acknowledge that even though syllable-final /r/ is dropped, it is still somehow "visible." That is, it leaves its mark in one of several ways.
An interesting property of Boston English (one that it shares with varieties like that of New York) is that the r of these words has less of an altering effect on surrounding vowels than it does in other dialects.
