It is spoken by many people in New York City and the New York metropolitan area. The dialect is known through its use in media. It is most often used in New York City itself and its nearby suburbs. However, it is used all across the metropolitan area.
The dialect is known for dropping the "r" in some words. For example, the word cart in New York sounds similar to cot or caught.
Some New York area people say tawk for talk (which sounds like toak, producing a « trumpet effect »).
