Finally, it is worth noting that despite common references to “a Bronx accent,” or “a Brooklyn accent,” no published study has found any feature that varies internally beyond local names. Impressions that the dialect varies geographically may be a byproduct of class and/or ethnic variation.
This I did not know. It feels awfully unintuitive to me—though it does simplify matters considerably.
