New Jersey's dialects really are more complicated than "North: sounds like New York; South: sounds like Philly." Down here in South Jersey, for instance there is a definite Southern twanginess to be found; I have a bit of it myself. Surprised they didn't bust out the old "wuder" (water) test, though. My sister says "wuder," but I say "wawter."
