I'm a Canadian with Northeastern accent lol
I noticed that foreigners are likely to leave comments. Maybe they worried about their accents. I'm a Chinese, a foreigner. Could I give a piece of advice? How can you use so many uncommon words to examine our accents? Or my English is still awful???......
wow,i've got the northeastern accent!
in fact, i'm a Chinese girl ,but it said i may be from the new york city.how amazing it was ~~
it's really a funny quiz~
Im from Philippines,I got Northern.its okay.
I got southern, I'm from Maryland so its pretty accurate.
I got Western both on this quiz and the last but I haven't lived anywhere outside of Massachusetts. Maybe anyone who isn't from the Boston area of MA sounds like someone from the West?

I really like these quizs! expecially this one about me having a Canadian accent! I'm from Montreal Canada...how about that!!!
I was tested North Central, LOL, I am from Albuquerque, New Mexico the state between Arizona and Texas.
I got western on this quiz and your first one xD
im from england but did it anyway
It said people think I'm Canadian- because I AM!!
I'm from Pittsburgh, so I guess "Ah'm aht uh luck." I DO pronounce "about" and "loud" the same, but they're pronounced "abaht" and "lahhd." (Make that "prahnahnced")
: )
well im aussie so this is pointless but i got northeastern
I got a tie between Midland and North Central.
I'm from Missouri, but I have never said "Missurah" instead of "Missouri" and I don't pronounce "forty" as "farty," I actually say it like I'm only halfway pronouncing the "r."
Another thing I noticed is that I have a tendency to say "eh" after almost every sentence and no one else here does.
Quiz was correct, I grew up 15 miles SE of the Loop, and have Northern speech. But this is the speech I learned in school, not at home. My home dialect is sloppy pronunciation, influenced by living in a blue collar, 1st to 3rd generation E European community. This includes the pattern of dropping articles(the, a)and pronouncing certain sounds as in Polish language (Chicago Metro has nearly 2 million people of Polish descent, plus many other Central/E Europeans. That has influenced the dialects there). Also used "duh, diss, deez, dem and dose" as in NE cities; ken(can) git (get)as in Midland. Also used to say " acrossa street" for "across the street."
Lived in St Louis for 4 years, but people could tell I was from the Chicago area. Test for St Louis, south side:
four is pronounced far, fourth is farth, and forty, farty; horse is pronounced harse; or is are.
Now in AZ, no one can tell where I'm from, but it's easy to pick up a slight Spanglish or Native American English sound. However, listening to native white Arizonans (which are a small minority, especially over age 40), their speech is not Northern at all - it's Western with Southern Highland influence.

It says "Some people might think you're a Canadian because of your accent."

Mine said West but we rilly don't have accents
here in AZ!

In first quiz I got an answer that I have Midland accent. In THIS quiz result said I'm from Chicago. Neither is right. I'm from Poland, but I don't blame the author of this quiz, because it is made for Americans, not outlanders. :)
