"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.

Midland.

I'm from PA. No redneck accent ftw!

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

"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.

I guess it got me, I'm from Saskatchewan.

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."

that was dead on, i lived in michigan till i was 8. I then moved to alabama, but i made it a point not to change my speaking habits.

I may be Texan and have an accent but I know how to talk.

I guess that's about right. I've lived in Florida since I was 4 though, so I don't know WHY I'd have a Midland accent.

midland... michigan counts as that i suppose

Your accent is as Philadelphian as a cheesesteak! If you're not from Philadelphia, then you're from someplace near there like south Jersey, Baltimore, or Wilmington. if you've ever journeyed to some far off place where people don't know that Philly has an accent, someone may have thought you talked a little weird even though they didn't have a clue what accent it was they heard.

I'm from Michigan, never thought I had an accent...

I was born and raised in the Bay Area of California.

Originally from California but have lived primarily in NC for 20 years.

 

[Chronoshock]

Boston accent.
I've lived around Boston all my life so I guess it's accurate

Your Result: The Inland North

100% true.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

The West FTW! Almost every single one of those I pronounce the same way, but there are plenty of words that I pronounce differently. You're (yer) and your (your) was the first one to come to mind.

Not from "midland" though.

Your Result: 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.

[Other things my accent might be in descending order]
The Midland
The Inland North
Philadelphia
Boston
The South
The West
North Central

But uh...I'm from California

 

[mercanucaribe]

The inland north. I live in Houston.

 

[Demo24]

Midland as well.


even though I'm from Georgia, and I'd say I have an accent.
