New Jersey English

Despite popular stereotypes in the media that there is a singular New Jersey accent, there are in fact several distinct accents native to the U.S. state of New Jersey,^[1] none being confined only to New Jersey. Therefore, the term New Jersey English is diverse in meaning and often misleading, and it may refer to any of the following dialects of American English (most frequently New York City English and Philadelphia English) or even to intermediate varieties that blend the features of these multiple dialects.
