What American accent do you have?

You said North Central - I am from New England - have lived in 4 of 6 New England States as well as Texas and North Carolina so guess I have smoothed out a little.

'you are probably from north Jersey, New York City, Connecticut or Rhode Island.the northeast'Well,I donnt know

This quiz said I was from Philadelphia. I was born and raised in the deep South. I have traveled extensively and when in Texas, I am always asked where in South Texas I am from. This is so funny, "My Homes In Alabama." I live in Southeast Alabama. People do have a hard time with figuring out my accent, but always guess somewhere in the South.

It got me exactly right, and I would agree with what it said. I am from the Pacific Northwest originally, and currently from California, and have always felt that natives of that area speak what I would call "standard American English." I have lived in New York and traveled around the country, so I have listened to a lot of regional accents. The comment on the quiz said that I was from the West, and that we had what would be considered the most "accentless" speech. I agree.

People don't usually put me in Phila. however I can pick out someone with a Phila. accent and I probably lean toward that tone in my voice.

Born in Southern IL, I moved north to Rock Island in 1942, and was amazed to hear my classmates pronounce the short a sound. It seemed to me that most said AH for all such words.
Back home, the a in the words are,far,and car rhymed with or, four, and core. This 80 year ol' boy lives back in his birthplace, and writes music and lyrics to songs.

IM NOT AN AMERICAN!!!!!!!!!!! PILIPINA AKO!!!!! DONT CARE IF U DONT UNDERSTAND SO BYE!!!!!!!!

Looks like it's good at getting Philadelphians....m e, too

By the way, saying 'pocket book' as apposed to 'purse' isn't an accent, so don't feel bad. In the Eastern states, we say 'soda' in the Midwest, they say 'pop'.
Some people still say 'hand bag', hahaha!

EVERYONE has some sort of accent. I was raised in Upstate NY and have lived in Chicago for 25 years. I have an accent that reflects these demographics. Please, stop saying 'LIKE' every other word ! Replace it with 'almost', 'sort of', 'it was as if', geez...

I am from Maryland, North of Baltimore. I never thought I had any accent either. Was born and raised here.

this cant be right i have a texan accent when i moved to the city no one understood me and when i said pocket book my bff said whats that and i was like you dont know what a pocket book is and she was like no and i was like its a purse

South??? Well I did grow up in Southern Illinois but have lived in CA for 60 years

Well...you got it all wrong..I'm not in any of those states...and I'm not from So. Il..I live in a burb of ChiTown.

You said I am Philadelphia, or South Jersey. I think you did not factor in that folks from Charleston, SC are from another planet. That's where I grew up. But I've lived in Atlanta, GA for almost 30 years.

GREAT! NO SPECIAL ACCENT, BECAUSE I'M FROM PUERTO RICO. HERE WE STUDY ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE IN ALL GRADES. IN MY GENERATION (I'M 77) WE MAINLY READ ENGLISH, BUT THERE WAS NO WAY TO SPEAK IT REGULARLY UNLESS YOU WENT TO THE STATES.

MINNESOOOOOTAAAA! OHHHH YEAAAAA!

You nailed my accent. I was born and raised in Collingdale, PA a suburb of Philly
