Pahk the cah

This past weekend I went with my boyfriend to visit his family in Boston. Most of his family is located in the many cities around Boston, and the way they talk shows it all. I know most people know and make fun of Boston accents, but if you can hear them in the full, it's really pretty amazing. Dropping "r's" becomes so much more complex. When we were all sitting eating together, the language flew so fast I had trouble keeping up. Words blend, there are no r's but instead there are strange vowel sounds that replace the r. There was also so much laughing that it sounded, to me anyway, like a lot of nonsense. But they can understand each other just fine! I guess no matter how long I live in New England, I will never fully be able to comprehend how exactly true Bostonians speak. I know I could never try to imitate it. It was almost a different language in itself. My boyfriend doesn't have a particularly strong accent, and neither does his parents, but put them together with the whole family and I can't understand any of them. I should invest in a translator...but do they make them for Boston accents?
