I'm not from here however,I lived in Massachusetts for about 6 months when I was young. So I'm faulty used to it cause to me the rhode island accent sounds very familiar to a Boston/southern Massachusetts accent. My family is from mass but they've lived out of state so long for so many generations we have no accent.

We sound like southern Mass? Weird.

I grew up in Attleboro (just over the Pawtucket line), which I would consider southern MA and I think there’s a lot of overlap in accents.

I like to say it’s the disfigured love child of the Boston accent and NY accent. We moved when my kids were young, and my daughter teases me all the time about it.

According to this guy -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1KP4ztKK0A RI accents are like MA accents but with different vowel placements, but I have a hard time hearing the difference

Non-Rhotic is the five dollar word. We don’t pronounce R’s that come after vowels.

I've lived here for about 6 months now. My neighbor literally sounds like Peter Griffin.
