Read the paragraph bellow and analyze the following statements:

Accent? What Accent?

It isn't as recognizable as the soft drawl of the Deep South, the twang of Texas or the sing-song cadences of Minnesota, but, yes, there is a Connecticut accent.

Or, more precisely, there are several accents.

Connecticut, as it is so often reminded, is between New York City and Boston, geography that does more than create confusion for which baseball team to cheer. Over the centuries, both cities have influenced the way Connecticut residents talk, although no one in the state pahks the cahr in Hahvahd Yahd or goes to Noo Yawk. The Connecticut accent is subtler and further influenced by regional differences.
