What American accent do you have? | Comments

Well this was spot-on. I'm from Texas and it said I have a southern accent all the way. I live in Wyoming now and ppl are always asking me where I'm from because they say it's obvious that I'm not from here....but I don't think I sound that different...

Who the heck rhymes "bag" with "vague"??? And when they do, which "a" sound do they use? For me (a California), the "a" sound in "bag" is the same as in "cat," while the "a" in "vague" rhymes with "date."

ya know..i think this thing is lyin, cuz i have a southern accent and the results were midland...which is weird..because i know alot of people in the midwest and they are two completely different accents...

its said i have a New York accent, I'm not even from America, i'm british, i only did this quiz because i was bored!

Whoa! In my case this quiz was totally inaccurate, in that I'm a native Californian. Never even visited Philidelphia or the Mid-American states; although I have lived in other countries.

New York it is then but i moved a while ago to Virginia....Still the north east huh.....accurate quiz for me!

Oo I got North Central...makes sense I do live near Canada o_O

Seems to me that:

a) many here are unable to honestly assess their own accents. They'd be better off letting someone else evaluate how they pronouce the question words for them.

b) this quiz is aimed at Americans. It's misapplied if used by English or Australian or other people. You probably are incapable of distinguishing from amongst various American accents, just as most Americans are only able to distinguish between Scottish and English and Irish accents, if that, when English people know that there are scores of different "English accents". As for non-English speaking people, it's even worse. In France, I'm asked "Are you British, American or Australian?". This question is so ridiculous to anyone actually from any of these countries because their accents are so different, yet to a Frenchman, they are all similar.

The quiz is fairly accurate if answered honestly and without embellishment. I'm a Canadian, but scored as "West", BUT that's accurate, because I live in the USA and I have an extremely generic accent now, i.e. "West". Philly, NYC, and others have certain very specific traits, and thus are readily identified as such.

M from Australia, but from this quiz it says i might b from new york city wow wat can i say............."Gooda nya mate"

Lol, I'm from Australia and it says I have a Northern Accent.

That's nice...

ha it says i have no accent. im from texas hell i have an accent.... :)

The West. Well I'm from California, is that near the west?

IM FROM THE NORTH EAST cool whats for lunch?

I left Chicago 17 years ago meandering East until settling in South Jersey for the last 8 years and just the other day a clerk said "You're not from around here are you?" Happens at least once a week.

oh well that's really nice

Well, I suppose my result was accurate (Midlands), as I am indeed from Pennsylvania, but what does it mean when it says it's "just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." I mean, doesn't everyone have an accent? In any case, I always had this vague hope that I sounded really exotic to other people, haha...

Spot on! It said I was from Southern Ohio (midland accent), and...well...yeah. I kinda am. So that's that. =D

im from jersey and it says i have a new yorker accent that bull

I was born in Eastern Pennsylvania, but grew up an Air Force Brat. I pick up accents easily - to immitate, but honestly don't really have one. I find it amusing that this quiz put me squarely in the "Midland" category which included Pennsylvania... but I sound nothing like my relatives!!!

Born in Hawaii but I've lived in Texas since I was 3. It makes since I dont have an accent. But dude, if I were ever to live in California or florida, I'd die! I love the hill country to much to live in a god danm city.

It said I had an inland Philadelphia accent, granted I am from Philly or atleast born there and stayed until I was in the 6th grade then moved next store to Maple Shade NJ. So I would say this is correct.

it says im from Minnesota,but thats my mom. I am from Wyoming not Minnesota

I'm from Texas born and raised country.. and it says i have practically no accent or i could have one from Florida or California... :-(

I'm born & raised in NC but I have a Inland North accent??

riiiggghhhttt....

people!!!boot this quiz out of the number one spot! im tired of seeing it!!
