Brooklynese \Prononciation ?\
- (Linguistique) Dialecte de l’anglais parlé à Brooklyn, brooklynais.
To be even less serious, New Yorkese, or its exaggerated sibling Booklynese, has been defined as what you have a bad case of if you recite the sentence There were thirty pirple birds sitting on a curb, burping and chirping and eating dirty worms, brother, as “Dere were toity poiple boids sittin onna coib, boipin, an choipin an eatin doity woims, brudda.”
— (Robert Hendrickson, New Yawk Tawk: A Dictionary of New York City Expressions, Checkmark Books, 1998, page iv)For many years several features of working class and lower class New York City speech have been stigmatized under the label of Booklynese.
