Bristol County Accent
the ‘pre-daaah-mi-nent’ accent in bristol county m-ssachusetts, especially stroo-ung in fall river, swansea, and, to a lesser degree, in taunton, norton, and attleboro.
a b-st-rd child of tom menino’s boston accent and fran drescher’s queens (new york city) accent.
to those from other parts of m-ssachusetts, the bristol county accent is often mistaken for a providence rhode island accent, with which it is somewhat similar, or even a new york/new jersey accent.
new yorkers have been said to mistake bristol county speakers as being native long islanders who have spent most of their adult lives in white, inner-city boston or ‘pahts’ of maine.
