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.

Yes. Mine came out correct for the Northeast.

What American accent do you have?Your 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.

Who the hell pronounces 'bag' and 'vague' the same way?

Yeah, pretty much (almost pun intended! LOL)

That's a Southern accent you've got there. You may love it, you may hate it, you may swear you don't have it, but whatever the case, we can hear it.

My 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.



That was my answer and it is true when I go down south they automatically know that I come from not even up north somewhere, but NYC itself

Pretty Cool Quiz. Thank You.

My results came out as Northeast---North NJ, NYC. The thing is I WAS raised in North NJ and have spent a lot of time in NYC.

Wow--Midland.

I've never been accused of NOT having an accent. It really leans to the south.
When I'm out west, everyone comments on my Southern accent. When I'm in the south, every now and then someone has said I say some words like "a yankee"...

Maybe as far as the test is concerned, I have a tin ear!

[njmike]

I moved from NJ in 1971 but people still want to know what part on NJ I'm from.
