What American accent do you have?

"North Central" is what professional linguists call the Minnesota accent. If you saw "Fargo" you probably didn't think the characters sounded very out of the ordinary. Outsiders probably mistake you for a Canadian a lot.

im from NY. but i dont really have a heavy NY accent, maybe a little. i liked that quiz though, it made me realize the differences in language. i should try doing the opposite

the midland

West. Makes sense.

Midland, with West as second place. Makes total sense considering my parents.

I've heard though that the "midwest" accent is one of the most neutral accents in America. Anyone hear the same?

What American accent do you have?

You may think you speak "Standard English straight out of the dictionary" but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like "Are you from Wisconsin?" or "Are you from Chicago?" Chances are you call carbonated drinks "pop."

makes sense

midland with northeast in second.  sounds about right my mom from the midwest and my dad from NY.

I speak Candinavian. It's a very distinct dialect really.

midland with northeast in first

WEST

west

west

west

midland. from PA

Judging by how you talk you are probably from north Jersey, New York City, Connecticut or Rhode Island. Chances are, if you are from New York City (and not those other places) people would probably be able to tell if they actually heard you speak.

mmmm interesting haha

my exact results too, i'm from wyoming. and every i know says i lack any form of an accent too. everyone on xbox live, back when i played, said i lacked one. I dated a girl from mississippi too and she said the same. i guess its because the midland is the cultural dead zone of america

it says no accent, but everyone tells me i have the chicago ahh sounds going.

apparently i say the word "box" like the bahhx.

Midland

bump

"You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.

The Inland NorthThe NortheastBostonThe WestPhiladelphiaThe SouthNorth Central

Boston.

Makes sense, I live near there

Boston, with west in a close second. which is weird because i don't think i have it at all, but when i visit friends from chicago, they always tell me i do.

haha im from Canada

what accent rhymes bag with vague?

It says I have a north east accent.

Judging by how you talk you are probably from north Jersey, New York City, Connecticut or Rhode Island. Chances are, if you are from New York City (and not those other places) people would probably be able to tell if they actually heard you speak.

I am from Jersey though so that makes sense, but not north Jersey.

West? I'm from boston..

midland? da fuck? im from boston and can barely pronounce the letter 'R'

Bad quiz, it says west and i'm from Iowa....and speak with a southern indiana twang.

ha i got the one thats says your mistaken for canadian and i am!

North Central, with boston in a close second
Weird considering I have lived in Boston my whole life.

Good god what an awful result.  "The Inland North"  I do not get asked if I am from Wisconsin or Chicago, neither do I sound like a person from there.  And I Most Definitely DO NOT call carbonated beverages "pop".  If I ever heard anyone call soda "pop" I would probably smack them.  Haha I do not agree with the results.  But as the test says, I may not think it but probably do have an accent from there.

fuck its west

yup

bring it on bitch.

Pittsburghese mixed with a nice amount of Vermonter (Did yinz guyz see the wicked huge rack on that buck)

Haha you really call soda "pop"?  Do you call a pillow a "pellow" and milk "melk"?  That is almost as bad as Vermonters calling soft serve ice cream "creemees".  That gets me the most.

midland..?
somehow, doesnt make sense to me
