Here is where admins will be posting tips on how to really bring out that New York newsie accent!
One big thing to remember, try not to over use the accent! It can get a bit annoying to read sometimes. Just string it in throughout to get the main gist. Anyways, have fun!
-Newsies tend to use the 'd' sound instead of the 't' sound.
Example: Well, how about dat?
-Lose the 'g' in 'ing' endings.
Example: I was watchin' the races.
-Voweeeeeels. Newsies tend to emphasize vowels.
Example: I went ovah there.
-Use 'ya' instead of 'you.'
Example: Ya went where?
-Use 'ta' instead of 'to.'
Example: I gotta get ta the lodge.
-Use the 'oi' sound!
Example: See that bridge ovah there?
-Drop the consonant at the end of a word. (Mostly the letter 't.')
Example: I was jus' about to say that!
