I have lived on the Treasure Coast since June of 2013, and while I have not noticed any pronounced regional accent here (certainly one rarely hears a Southern "drawl"), I have noticed one thing that I have not heard elsewhere: the habit of dropping the "t" in the middle of a word. For example, instead of saying "Mar-tin" (as in the county name), I have heard several people say "Mar-in" with the t not really noticeable.
Just wondered if there are any other local pronounciation that are unique to the area ?

Most of the people who populate the Treasure Coast come from elsewhere. There are many from the NY metro area, New England, the mid-west, from other places in Florida and from other states in the southern US. I've lived here for over 30 years and can't say that I am aware of anything that I'd call a Treasure Coast regional accent.
