Two year old has a strong New York accent?

Question

Ok so I’m wondering if this a temporary thing or if this is just how he will always talk
He has a pretty significant speech delay, and really just started talking recently.  He also has been in speech therapy 4 times a week for close to a year, so lots of speech/ language issues so I’m wondering if this is another language issue.  
He says more- “mmmAWW”
Pool-  “pooWAL”
Ball- “BAWWAL” 
Dog-  “dawwwg”
Those are some examples. 
Ok so we do live in New York (Long Island) so obviously he will have some sort of accent I guess BUT his is like wayyyyyover exaggerated, not like a typical ny way of speaking.  Like people even comment like wow he has a strong accent.  We have family mostly Brooklyn and Staten island and they even comment on how heavy it is 
Is this typical for a newly speaking toddler to have such an exaggerated accent? Or is this another language/speech issue?

Answer

I don’t know why but this made me giggle 🤣 probably because I also have a two year old with a slight speech delay and I’m imagining my son doing this lol 
I wouldn’t worry about it! If he’s seven and still has the accent super thick, then I’d worry a little lol

Answer

I had a coworker who's son had a British accent because Peppa Pig was his favorite show.

Answer

I’m sure some of it has to do with where you live. But kids at that age pronounce words like that sometimes regardless of where they are from. They are still learning how to pronounce stuff. I never though much of it at all.

Answer

Hehe. He'll outgrow it. My nephew sounded like Mario from Mario Bros when he was younger. He sounds normal now.

Answer

My toddler has a very country accent and mine is strong but not like hers it's only cause she hasn't figured out how to move her mouth right to get it to sound like normal yet.

Answer

Mine sounds like that because it’s hard to pronounce some letters and such

Answer

I wouldn’t worry.. just keep doing the speech therapy. My daughter used to sound British.. we’re American lol

Answer

My three year old is copying my Danish ascent even though we live on the opposite side of the country in Norway. When he talks to other people he talks more normally.
