What American accent do you have? | Comments

im "the west" what a popular quiz!

i from australia n i got a west accent, wat does a west accent even sound like??? i have a strong aussie accent most of the time. :D

wow, i am from Missouri! but changing one answer gives me a wisconsin accent??? whatever. ^_^

sm4him is very right. I was born and raised in upstate South Carolina and yet according to this I have a midland accent. I have two NJ teachers for grandparents and a proper speaking Southern Mama. I don't have an accent per say because they all made sure that I spoke proper (American) English - the second dead language.

Midland?!? I was born and raised in the South...the REAL south, not like Maryland... :-) I've lived in TN and GA my entire life--I've only been west of the Mississippi twice in 40-something years!! There's not much "Midland" about me.

I think this test sometimes is more a test of whether you learned diction...my father (a Yankee) and my mother (lifelong Southerner) were also both extremely intelligent and well-spoken, and they did not allow their five children to learn or engage in sloppy speaking habits...

the west
lol
i live in hawaii

go 2 da what hairstyle should u try quiz!its funny!

Those who complain about the quiz being wrong when they live in England, Australia, or Singapore (etc.) should focus on another activity than learning which *American* accent they have. Like learning how to read for instance.

Now I'm not sure the test actually is right either. It seems like it often comes out wrong and I don't think I have an "Inland" accent... But how the hell would I know: I am French and I have never been to the US...

West accent. Yep.

Born and bred Bostonian (I pahk my cah in Havhahd yahd and calf=cahf, path=pahth, laugh=lahff, half=hahf, after=ahftah) and yet I came out WEST????

I was once told by a linguist who was doing his doctoral thesis on accents that New Englander's vowel sounds were the most phonetically correct. THAT was a surprise, since a lot of people make fun of the Bostonian accent.

I got inland North, Yet Im from the North East of England.Yey me?

HAHA I got inland north, and I'm from Singapore. :o Ah well. I have no idea what someone from inland north america sounds like anyway, so... geez what was the point of taking this quiz?

Xavier Kun did well with the American Accent Quiz. I got "North Central" - the one where "...outsiders probably mistake you for a Canadian..."

Well, I AM a Canadian. I'm in Toronto.

Wow that was 100% correct i grew up in paducah KY

Northeast...not a chance. I was born and grew up just an hour from Charleston, SC. Have always loved hearing others speak and have an M.Ed. plus 30 hours from U. of SC in English Education and Educational Adm. Know I have a slight souther accent because others can pick it up, but many times get questioned about where I am from originally.

I have a western accent! wierd...i was born in MI but live in SC for half of my life. Now i obviously talk like so cals..cool.

Southern Ohio? ugh, PAH-LEASE! NORTHERN OHIO! JEEZE!

(By the way, that was a joke -_-)

wat i've never even been to phily??

i like da quis its funny

this is total rubbish i am from london, england

This is a rubbish quiz! Iam from England! Not NEW YORK!!!!!!

I'm not sure that there's enough information here to really tell in many cases. I've only lived in Ohio for 6 years (lived in Atlanta, Pensacola, and Maryland as well)but my 'accent' comes up as Midwestern. 13 questions aren't enough.

Just because you don't live or ever visited whatever region you got as a result, doesn't mean it's impossible for you to have that accent (or whatever you want to name it -- regionalisms and whatnot). What matters is the people with whom you have most contact and hear talking most often.

I am indeed from Boston and It said I had a boston accent!

well i was born in ny grew up in ma and now i live in so cal and the quiz said i had no accent (west coast) lol
