West Indian accents completely baffle me. The way people from Trinidad and Jamaica blur their consonants is confusing tbh. Haitian accents are even harder

I speak numerous accents depending on who am I around so I do get people guessing. I grew up in a Puerto Rican area so generally I speak with a Nuyorican accent, plenty of people have pointed that out about me. With my older less Americanized relatives and family I speak a light version of a Guyanese English accent however its not perfect. If I'm speaking with African Americans I do try to mimic and put on an AAVE English, but it some success, with Italians and Irish I do try to put on a working class accent. The most difficult accent to understand is the Irish NYC accent and yes most Anglo West Indians accents are hard to understand. Another accent I find difficult to understand is Dominican Spanish.
