How do New Yorkers say words?
If the ‘r’ is at the end of the word or right before a consonant, it gets dropped. One example is the word “water,” which a New Yorker may say like “waw-tah.” When the letters ‘ng’ are together in a word, New Yorkers pronounce it with a very hard ‘g’ sound. Long Island, for instance, sounds like, “lawn-guyland.”
