I’m from Miami and still have family there. It’s interesting that Latinos who were born here, and maybe second or third generation born here, have developed a patois and accent that is strictly South Florida.

Italian-American neighborhoods of New York, New Jersy and Philly have the same phenomenon—you got a taste of it in The Sopranos. Garrison Keillor made many linguistic references to the Scandanavian culture of the upper Midwest in his Lake Woebegon programs (before he got cancelled by #MeToo). Some of the funniest send-ups of local cultures were SNL's imitations of Irish Bostonians with Amy Poehler and Jimmy Fallon, Chicago Bears fans with Chris Farley and Bob Smigel, and "The Californians" with Fred Armisen, Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig.
