So basically, I found this quiz.  It's not completely accurate, but it's kind of interesting seeing the results...
http://gotoquiz.com/what_american_accent_do_you_have

Take the quiz; then post where you are from, and your results.

I live in Western Mass(moved here when I was 3).  My dad is from Western MA, my mom is from southern CT.
What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The West

Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta.

The Midland Boston North Central The Inland North The Northeast Philadelphia The South What American accent do you have?
Quiz Created on GoToQuiz Not too surprised with the results, although I would have expected more Northeast...

So post up everyone!

The Northeast
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.

Central Jersey, so this was pretty damn close

Inland north.

Funny that, since I don't live anywhere near there, and did not grow up in the Midwest.

"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.

Soda. That is what everyone calls it where I live. Where I am from(louisiana) everything is called coke even if its pepsi or sprite. If someone calls it pop you can tell they are not from here.

I got midland but most people would say I have a bit of a southern drawl.
