Miami enjoys a vibrant culture that is influenced by a diverse population from all around the world. Miami is known as the "Magic City" for seemingly popping up overnight due to its young age and massive growth. Miami is infamous for its [[Miami drug war|drug war in the early 1980s]] and its outrun aesthetics.<ref>{{Cite web |date=February 12, 2019 |title=8 Things you didn't know about the Miami Drug Wars |url=https://culturecrusaders.com/2019/02/12/7-things-you-didnt-know-about-the-miami-drug-wars/ |access-date=February 12, 2019 |website=culturecrusaders.com |archive-date=March 27, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220327070117/https://culturecrusaders.com/2019/02/12/7-things-you-didnt-know-about-the-miami-drug-wars/ |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2021/aug/03/cocaine-cowboys-billionaires-controlled-miami-netflix|title=Cocaine Cowboys: the story of the billionaires who controlled Miami|last=Simonpilali|first=Radheyan|date=August 3, 2021|website=theguardian.com|access-date=November 20, 2023|archive-date=November 20, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231120222014/https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2021/aug/03/cocaine-cowboys-billionaires-controlled-miami-netflix|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=9252490|title=Timeline: America's War on Drugs|date=April 2, 2007|website=[[NPR]]|access-date=November 20, 2023|archive-date=March 29, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180329060119/https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=9252490|url-status=live}}</ref> It is nicknamed the "Capital of Latin America" because of its high population of Spanish speakers.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Fajardo |first=Luis |date=May 16, 2016 |title=How Miami became the capital of affluent Latin America |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-36281648 |access-date=May 16, 2016 |website=[[BBC News]] |archive-date=May 16, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160516050618/http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-36281648 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Alvarez |first=Lizette |date=July 19, 2014 |title=Influx of South Americans Drives Miami's Reinvention |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/20/us/20miami.html |access-date=July 19, 2014 |website=[[The New York Times]] |archive-date=July 20, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140720043100/http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/20/us/20miami.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.economist.com/the-americas/2022/05/07/if-latin-america-has-a-commercial-capital-it-is-miami|title=If Latin America has a commercial capital, it is Miami|date=May 7, 2022|website=Economist.com|access-date=November 19, 2023|archive-date=November 20, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231120005929/https://www.economist.com/the-americas/2022/05/07/if-latin-america-has-a-commercial-capital-it-is-miami|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://blog.equinix.com/blog/2018/05/01/why-miami-is-latin-americas-center-of-interconnection/|title=Why Miami is Latin America's Center of Interconnection|last=Garcia|first=Gustavo|date=May 1, 2018|website=blog.equinix.com|access-date=November 19, 2023|archive-date=November 20, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231120010311/https://blog.equinix.com/blog/2018/05/01/why-miami-is-latin-americas-center-of-interconnection/|url-status=live}}</ref>

===Cuisine===

The cuisine of Miami is a reflection of its diverse population, with a heavy influence from [[Latin American cuisine|Latin American]], [[Caribbean cuisine|Caribbean]], [[Soul food|Soul]], and [[Jewish cuisine]]. By combining them with mainstream [[American cuisine]], it has spawned a unique [[South Florida]] style of cooking known as [[Floribbean cuisine]]. It is widely available throughout Miami and South Florida and can be found in restaurant chains such as [[Pollo Tropical]].

Cuban immigrants in the 1960s originated the [[Cuban sandwich]] and brought [[medianoche]], [[Cuban espresso]], [[Bistec de palomilla]], and [[croquette|croquetas]], all of which have grown in popularity among all Miamians and have become symbols of the city's varied cuisine. Today, these are part of the local culture and can be found throughout the city at window cafés, particularly outside of supermarkets and restaurants.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Cuban Sandwich, History of Cuban Sandwich, History of Cubano Sandwich |url=http://whatscookingamerica.net/History/Sandwiches/CubanSandwich.htm |website=Whatscookingamerica.net |date=May 21, 2015 |access-date=July 3, 2011 |archive-date=April 21, 2005 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050421105240/http://whatscookingamerica.net/History/Sandwiches/CubanSandwich.htm |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Local Cuisine in Miami at Frommer's |url=http://www.frommers.com/destinations/miami/0017024034.html |access-date=October 8, 2012 |website=Frommers.com |archive-date=October 4, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121004143352/http://www.frommers.com/destinations/miami/0017024034.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Some of these locations, such as the [[Versailles restaurant]] in [[Little Havana]], are landmark eateries of Miami. Located on the Atlantic Ocean, and with a long history as a [[Port|seaport]], Miami is also known for its seafood, with many seafood restaurants located along the [[Miami River (Florida)|Miami River]] and in and around Biscayne Bay.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Miami Cuisine: Seafood Restaurants Guide – Miami Dining Guide |work=[[Miami New Times]] |url=http://www.miaminewtimes.com/restaurants/search/cuisine:Seafood/ |access-date=October 8, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120720222320/https://www.miaminewtimes.com/restaurants/search/cuisine%3ASeafood/ |archive-date=July 20, 2012}}</ref> The city is also the headquarters of restaurant chains such as [[Burger King]] and [[Benihana]].

===Dialect===
{{Main|Miami accent}}
The Miami area has a unique dialect of [[American English]], commonly called the "[[Miami accent]]", that is widely spoken. The accent developed among second- or third-generation [[Hispanic and Latino Americans|Hispanics]], including [[Cuban Americans]], whose first language was English. Some [[Non-Hispanic whites|non-Hispanic white]], [[black people|black]] and [[Race and ethnicity in the United States|other races]] who were born and raised in the Miami area have tended to adopt it as well.<ref>{{Cite web |date=August 27, 2013 |title=Miami Accents: Why Locals Embrace That Heavy "L" Or Not |url=http://wlrn.org/post/miami-accents-why-locals-embrace-heavy-l-or-not?nopop=1 |access-date=September 1, 2013 |publisher=WLRN ([[WLRN-TV]] and [[WLRN-FM]]) |archive-date=October 6, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141006082641/http://wlrn.org/post/miami-accents-why-locals-embrace-heavy-l-or-not?nopop=1 |url-status=live }}</ref>

It is based on a fairly [[General American|standard American accent]] but with some changes, very similar to dialects in the [[Mid-Atlantic (United States)|Mid-Atlantic]], especially those in the [[New York City English|New York area]] and [[New Jersey English|Northern New Jersey]], including [[New York Latino English]]. Unlike [[Piedmont region of Virginia|Virginia Piedmont]], Coastal Southern American, Northeast American dialects and [[Florida Cracker]] dialect, "Miami accent" is [[Rhoticity in English|rhotic]]. It incorporates a rhythm and pronunciation heavily influenced by Spanish, where rhythm is [[isochrony#syllable timing|syllable-timed]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=June 13, 2004 |title='Miami Accent' Takes Speakers By Surprise |url=http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/2004-06-13/news/0406130047_1_cuban-accent-spanish-sound |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120820020926/http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/2004-06-13/news/0406130047_1_cuban-accent-spanish-sound |archive-date=August 20, 2012 |access-date=October 8, 2012 |website=Articles – [[Sun-Sentinel]].com}}</ref>

This is a native dialect of English, not learner English or [[interlanguage]]. It is possible to differentiate this variety from an [[interlanguage]] spoken by second-language speakers, in that the "Miami accent" does ''not'' generally display the following features: there is no [[epenthesis|addition]] of {{IPA|/ɛ/}} before initial consonant clusters with {{IPA|/s/}}, speakers do not confuse {{IPA|/dʒ/}} with {{IPA|/j/}}, (e.g., ''Yale'' with ''jail''), and /r/ and /rr/ are pronounced as [[Alveolar approximant|alveolar approximant <nowiki>[</nowiki>{{IPA|ɹ|cat=no}}<nowiki>]</nowiki>]] instead of [[alveolar tap]] {{IPA|[ɾ]}} or [[alveolar trill]] [r] in Spanish.<ref>{{Cite web |date=August 26, 2013 |title=Miami Accents: How 'Miamah' Turned Into A Different Sort Of Twang |url=http://wlrn.org/post/miami-accents-how-miamah-turned-different-sort-twang |access-date=September 1, 2013 |publisher=WLRN ([[WLRN-TV]] & [[WLRN-FM]]) |archive-date=August 31, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130831034043/http://wlrn.org/post/miami-accents-how-miamah-turned-different-sort-twang |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Haggin |first=Patience |date=August 27, 2013 |title=Miami Accents: Why Locals Embrace That Heavy "L" Or Not |url=https://y-dc.info/2020/09/17/miami-accents-why-locals-embrace-heavy-l-or-not/ |access-date=August 10, 2015 }}{{Dead link|date=February 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Watts |first=Gabriella |date=August 26, 2013 |title=Miami Accents: How 'Miamah' Turned Into A Different Sort Of Twang |url=http://wlrn.org/post/miami-accents-how-miamah-turned-different-sort-twang |access-date=August 10, 2015 |archive-date=August 31, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130831034043/http://wlrn.org/post/miami-accents-how-miamah-turned-different-sort-twang |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Haggin |first=Patience |date=September 16, 2013 |title=English in the 305 has its own distinct Miami sound |work=[[Miami Herald]] |url=http://www.miamiherald.com/2013/09/07/3609984/english-in-the-305-has-its-own.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131203181803/http://www.miamiherald.com/2013/09/07/3609984/english-in-the-305-has-its-own.html |archive-date=December 3, 2013}}</ref>
