"The Boston Brahmin accent, also known as Brahmin English, is a historical accent once associated with Boston’s upper-class elite, particularly the old-money families known as the Boston Brahmins. This dialect often sounds similar to an English accent, and is characterized by non-rhotic pronunciation, elongated vowels. It often includes unique vocabulary and pronunciation that reflect its formal tone and English roots.

Emerging in the 19th century as a marker of social status, the Brahmin dialect was closely tied to Boston’s intellectual and cultural aristocracy. Though its prevalence has declined over time, replaced by other regional accents and more generalized American accents, the Brahmin Boston dialect remains a fascinating linguistic artifact of American history."

Plaque on the Home of Samuel Leonardson

*'On this site stood the home of Samuel Lenorson

'This tablet is erected in memory of his son Samuel who at twelve years of age was stolen by the Indians in 1695 His master joined in the attack on Haverhill in 1697 assisting in the capture of Mrs. Dustin and Mrs. Neff on the march toward Canada While encamped on an island near Concord NH These captives led by Mrs. Dustin killed ten of the Indians and thus regaining their liberty returned to their homes.'*
