[quote=Anonymous]Age and ethnicity matter more than borough. For example a Jewish person who grew up in the Brooklyn would speak more similarly to a Jewish person from the Bronx of during the same generation than an Italian American from Brooklyn for example. Also, LI accents are really just the old outer borough white ethnic accents. The influx of newcomers after WWII dwarfed the existing population and these people didn't adopt the "old" LI accent.
