What American accent do you have?

[luckysnafu]

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.

Pretty good, I grew up about an hour west of Philly.

Wow, got me pegged perfectly.

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.

I'm from Jersey

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.

I'm from Oregon, so that makes sense.

Same for me. I've lived all but 6 years of my life in Oregon. The 6 years were 4 in the Puget Sound area of Washington (Puyallup/Sumner/Milton) and 2 in Northern California (Davis).

And it's pop, not soda or cola or Coke.

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."

Hm. I was born in Queens, NY, moved to South Florida when I was 10 or 11. And soda is soda, not pop.

If I change the answer for question #9 to " It's the same "o" sound as in "hot." or "Neither one" it gives me the northeast.

"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.

From Minneapolis, Minnesota, soft drinks are pop doncha know.

"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.

Well.... I'm not really "from" anywhere in particular. My father was in the Air Force so I moved all over the place when I was younger. But I'm currently in Alabama and yeah.... I do have better english than 90% of the people down here.
