New Jersey English
The English language in the U.S. state of New Jersey is dialectally diverse, resulting in several regional English dialects spoken in the state.[1] Therefore, New Jersey English may refer to any of these varieties of English:
- Mid-Atlantic American English
- Philadelphia English, spoken in South Jersey and some parts of Central Jersey, including most of Ocean County.
- New York City English, spoken in northeastern New Jersey, such as Newark and Jersey City, and including Middlesex and Monmouth Counties (the stereotypical Hollywood "New Jersey accent")
- Northern American English, spoken in northwestern New Jersey on the geographic edge of the Inland North dialect region
