New York Dialect is the variety of the English language spoken by most European Americans in New York City and much of its metropolitan area including Northern New Jersey, Westchester and Rockland counties, and all of Long Island.
The classic New York dialect is centered on middle and working class European Americans, and this ethnic cluster now accounts for less than half of the city’s population, although, the same "White Flight" that reduced their numbers in the city has led to expansion of the dialect in the outlaying areas to which they moved.
The variations of the New York accent are a result of the layering of ethnic speech from the waves of immigrants that settled in the city, starting with the Dutch and English, followed by the Irish, the Italian and the European Jews, among other groups.
