What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Midland 77%

"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.

i was born in acanssas and raised in new mexico

North Central for me, it is stupid.

I'm from the Northeast but I got inland north. I think inland north is one of my favorite regions though.

Accurate as far as a large area of the country goes, but the PA accent is much different than the Southern IN accent. Other questions would be more discriminating (pronunciation of creek, roof, bush; names of items - sofa, couch, Davenport). Really, though? Whore was the best sound-alike you could come up with?

I got Midland, I found that a little funny since I've grown up in Tennessee, a VERY southern area. But I guess I just don't have an accent... (I wish I did). Well, then again, everyone does. Spanish is my first language so I probably do have some degree of Spanish accent in my English.

The south,I'm from Ohio and I really don't sound like a have any accent at all honestly. I think most of these words sounded the same besides a few.

i got "the south" when i say bag it sounds like "vaulge" its true i have an accent and i have tongue tie with makes it worse everyone laughs at my accent it makes me sad :( help me

omg i got 95% midland despite being born and raised in South Florida LOL it was really accurate with the part with me "not having an accent" i think many people would agree.

This is very accurate! :)

The interesting thing here is, I grew up in the Atlanta suburbs, and most people I meet, if they share their opinion, are surprised that I'm from here(still around A-town). I've had some people guess Florida or the Midwest, with others commonly saying I don't really have an accent (better clarified as "neutral American English"). I think this category being the "not presenting an (strong) accent" is what has some folks on here in such a tizzy because they've missed that aspect (here come the hate comments!), the fact that it's lacking, more so than defining a regional accent.

In my case my parents were consistently reinforcing academics and would always insist I enunciate my words "correctly" (which I believe is a social construct like that hideous word "normal")

He got it wrong. He said I am midlands when I am a southerner! Texas yall

Your Result: The Inland North 85%

You may think you speak "Standard English straight out of the dictionary" but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like "Are you from Wisconsin?" or "Are you from Chicago?" Chances are you call carbonated drinks "pop."

Im from north New Jersey, but okay. I dont call soda "pop" either

This quiz was quite accurate I do have an excellent voice that could be a host on the TV show or radio I am actually from Michigan but it said I had a Midland voice and it had every other state but Michigan walking there but my heart is in Dallas so I'll take it that's where I'll live one day anyway. Hopefully 2023 I will be a Texas resident

(Your Result: The Inland North)

Im not even from america and yes, i do say pop

I get Boston every time. I pronounce my R's but not as heavily as in the south. My mom sounds like she pahks the cah in Hahvahd yahd lol We both use some of the Boston slang like bubbler instead of water fountain and jimmies instead of sprinkles.

This is so inaccurate that I could turn into an ant and walk into the rays of a magnifying glass rn

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: North Central 88%

"North Central" is what professional linguists call the Minnesota accent. If you saw "Fargo" you probably didn't think the characters sounded very out of the ordinary. Outsiders probably mistake you for a Canadian a lot.

As a Canadian; yes, people do think Im Canadian a lot lol which may be cause I live in Canada and have an Ontarian accent and have said that Im Canadian many times before lmao

Theres no right answer for me as im australian but this is what i got haha What American accent do you have?

Your Result: The Northeast 94%

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.

80% Philadelphia
78% The Inland North
60% The Midland
50% Boston
50% The South
25% The West
8% North Central

Im pretty sure every word sounded different to me

This was good!

Awesome quiz, apparently I have a 100% Midland accent. And given that I'm from NE Ohio, I'd say that's pretty spot on.
