As one walks the streets of a large city almost anywhere inthe world, one is likely to hear a variety of languages. In New York City,  English is the official language, but there are many different accents.  Hosting a large immigrant population, this U.S. city is a melting pot of cultures and voices, and a visitor can hear many different variations of English.
