the bristol county accent, especially as spoken in the fall river-somerset-swansea-warren area, is known for it’s very “haash” pr-nunciation of certain words containing the letters “r” and/or “o” and an emphasis on pr-nouncing the final syllable in a word.
known for combining the most peculiar aspects of the boston accent (especially the dropped r’s and “british” pr-nunciation of words such as ask (“aahsk”), bath (“baath”), and can’t (“caahnt”) and new york accent, i.e. the pr-nunciation of orange and coral very strong ‘aah’ on the first syllable and coffee (first syllable, cawww-) and hot dog (“haaaat dawwwwg”).
just as many southerners (esp texans) will say in-surance, see-ment, and re-ceipt, many bristol county residents will say “guvva-ment” (government), “aahran-gez” (oranges), “kaww-fay” (coffee), and “baath-roam” (bathroom).
“i gahhda go to da baath-roam. i just drank too much kaww-fay and aahrang choes!” (“choes =” juice)

although the wsar signal reaches fall river’s arch-rival on the south coast, new bedford, the accent in the latter city is very different than that heard 7-10 miles to the west. to hear the “brooklyn meets bar harbor” accent unique to fall river, you either have to go to fall river and hang out at a “dunk-yays” or listen to wsar. either way, “yaaah” in “faah” a “trait!” (treat)
