The test said I'm Midlands. Not really. But it didn't ask if you know the meaning of "ya'll", "howdy", or any other Texas-isms. Very Happy

I'm dusting off this thread.

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Inland North

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."

which american accent do i have??

result: the midland

"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.

just like i've been saying all along- i don't have an accent!!! every now and then my o's get away from me as a result of spending a few years in north dakota, but generally i sound very generic Laughing

I'm from the Southeast of England so the test had me as from the Northeast, as seems to be the case for every commonwealth speaker.

For me, none of the words they ask about sound the same or rhyme, except for 'loud' and 'about', which rhyme.

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.

Pretty good. It pegged me as north central, often mistaken for being Canadian. Since I am Canadian , from Toronto, I say the quiz is spot on. Smile

Dunno,
Canadians think I'm American,
Americans think I'm Canadian.
Australians can't place my accent,
Asians think I'm American.

Interesting!

I've been told I have such a pleasant accent so it's all good.
ROCK ON! WORD!

This test nailed me. I'm from L.A., and it said I was from the West, which they call the "lowest common deminator", having no accent.

And I've worked with a lot of foreign teachers, and I've asked them if I have a recognizable accent. Just "American" is all they've ever said. I do say dude sometimes.

For me nearly all the words are pronouced the same (except bag and vague, feel and fill).
