Born with a new york accent??? -

could you have a new york accent if you weren t born there?like say you were ten and moved to the Bronx then lived there for five years would you have a new york accent?i feel like such a tard asking this.

No, between zero and three years of age your basic accent will be formed for life. It cannot change. However, if you move to another region at let us say 10 then you will incorporate some regional phonetic sayings in your speech. However, the natives of that region will notice your basic accent.

You may be able to get one, but the best way for you to get a New York accent would be for you to live in Brookyln.Us folk that live in Brookyln have thick Brooklyn accents. However, there are less and less people that have a New York accent these days.However, practically everyone that has a New York accent was born and grew up in New York.

yes, you pick up the accent without knowing it especially if you are surrounded by it when you are young. I m from NY, I don t think I have an accent, but if I travel anywhere in the country, they ask me if I am from NY as soon as I open my mouth but I was born in California.

as we are humans of habit we would adapt to the environment we are in meaning after a while you will probably start picking up accents or different terms used in that area! and that will be any where you go unless your main purpose is to not be like that then yeah but subconsciously you are going to pick it up

You ll be able to hear it yourself when you record your voice play it back. I m aware the person with the accent cannot hear it himself when speaking to others.

Yes your dialect can change when you ve been in a place long enough where everyone speaks a certain way.

Bronx is in NY it s a borough one of the 5 can name all of the 5?

Yes I believe you are what is called a Poser! ??? :/
