Northeastern American English refers to the variety of English spoken in the northeastern United States, which includes states like New York, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. This dialect is characterized by distinct pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar. For example, speakers often drop the "r" sound in words like "car" and "hard," a feature known as non-rhoticity. The region also has unique expressions and slang, such as "wicked" to mean very or extremely, particularly in Boston. Additionally, the influence of various immigrant groups has contributed to a rich tapestry of linguistic features, making Northeastern American English diverse and dynamic.
