100% true.

What American accent do you have?
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.

Born in Bklyn, NY, lived in Northern NJ 12 years, North East England 8 years, Nashville TN 5 years, back to NJ 7 years.

Ah, I know what makes my results inaccurate...

"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 lived the first part of my life in Kiev and Kansas, people tell me I have a wierd accent, but I live in Boston now, and have for a long time.

Not from "midland" though.

But I am! :beer:

My result: The Inland North. I have lived in the Bronx my entire life. I have no clue what somewhat from Philly sounds like and it says "Chances are you call carbonated drinks "pop" which is so not true. No one from NYC says pop.

Interesting, since I have NEVER lived in that area.

(inland north)

It says midland for me, but I grew up in southern California, lived in Alabama, and now reside in Seattle. Boo.

LOL. I'm a Canadian immigrant living in Chicago.

Midland.

Born in Baltimore (lived there for 6 years), now live in NC (lived here for 20 years).

I have none.....I have a broad Australian country accent....the "G'day mate..fair dinkum" Type

I find this is quiz and its results fascinating. Someone who is bored should make a more complete and expanded quiz.

philadelphian accent! g0ddamn right!!

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.

None, thankfully. People with accents are annoying.

I've lived in Northeast Ohio my entire life, seems accurate enough to me.

Got me right, Connecticut.

"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.

I'm from Florida, actually.
