If you visit NE be prepared for some of the best slang and accents in the world! We have a big mix. People from Conn have NY accents. People from Mass have classic Boston accents. People from Maine have Mainer accents or French accents if they live near Lewiston / Auburn. People from NH have a NE accent if they live in the middle, a Boston accent if they live in the south, a Maine accent if they live in the west and can’t speak if they live in the east. We also have the most demented pronunciations on Earth. We have such a hodgepodge of Native American and English inspired words that no one really knows why we talk like we do.
