Noo Yawk accent? Loin to tawk Noo Yawkish, youse!!! Fer fye dolliz I'll teach ya. I guess "yoo nevah hoid" of the northern city shift then either;)

I guess the closest resemblance between an american accent and an english (standard) would a new england accent (roughly speaking a "boston accent") even though it's still very different.

The southern drawl is way different for example in Texas and Louisiana. I guess the Southern Drawl is a collective name for a speaking disorder, lol.
