tu zona - tus latitudes - tu barrio - tu vecindario...


Explanation:
Sin más contexto, podría haber varias formas de expresarlo con naturalidad, pero el registro del contexto es importante, como solicito en la "discussion".

How do people talk in your neck of the woods?

¿Cómo habla la gente en tu zona?
¿Cómo habla la gente en la zona de la que provienes?
¿Cómo hablan las personas de tu pueblo / de tu barrio / de tu "tribu"?

¿De qué forma se expresan los de tu zona geográfica?

¿Cómo hablan en tu zona?

¿De qué forma hablan por tus latitudes?

Bueno, en el pueblecito donde nací, hablaban catalán y castellano con las "eles" bien marcadas... ;-)

agree  Neil Ashby: Me gusta "latitudes", describe una región no definido (igual que "woods") y porqué lo he escuchado la gente usarlo "in my neck of the woods" - Andalucía.

  -> Muchas gracias, Neil. :-) Sí, "latitudes" en este contexto a mí también me gusta bastante.
