Maine accent The Maine accent is the local traditional pronunciation of Eastern New England English in parts of Maine, especially along the coast, including the "Down East" region. It is characterized by a variety of features, including "r"-dropping (non-rhoticity), resistance to the horse–hoarse merger in older speakers, a deletion or "breaking" of certain syllables, and some unique vocabulary. The traditional Maine accent is rapidly declining; a 2013 study of Portland found the horse–hoarse merger to be currently embraced by speakers of all ages and the cot–caught merger to be resisted, despite being typical among other Eastern New England speakers.
