What American accent do you really have? | Comments

Your Result: North Central 91%

This is what people call a "Minnesota accent" or "Fargo accent" as heard in the movies "Fargo" (obviously) and "Drop Dead Gorgeous." People with this accent live in northern part of Minnesota and in North Dakota, right next to the Canadian border. Some people might think you're a Canadian because of your accent. How did you know lol?

I got North Central. I don't live there, but both my parents grew up around there.

It seems to me that the last question was cut off??

I got Midland and I live on the East Coast in Virginia.

Filipino here & to me it seems that the western American accent is quite common here. Might be the influence of Hollywood films

I do not say Pawk the Caw. I say Park the Car. It seems you could easily rule out a Boston accent by asking that question. Interesting, because I grew up in Nevada, but my dad was from New Hampshire. Regardless, I know what some one from Boston sounds like and I do not sound any thing like that.

I am from Baltimore. I sound like I am from Baltimore. I have such a heavy accent that people don't understand wth I'm saying half the time. So why the hell would I have a southern Midwest accent????

Philadelphia . . Humm . . . I've ever met with phillian in that time was working at trade buy new or old car dealerships are in central java , persist in BLORA .

It gave me both 88% for supposedly having a Midland and North Central accent, but I'm from upstate New York xD I don't really know if that works for me haha.

NORTHERN ACCENT! COOL, Because that's from where i am (not in america, but in canada) XD

north easten again. maybe i was born in the wrong country.

So accurate...I'm not American, I'm Canadian. And the quiz said people might think I was Canadian.

Quiz wrong. I'm TEXAN and proud of it. Not New Jersey! I'm very offended. Also, New Yorkers, we don't live like Cowboys most of the time. We are civilized. Why don't yall visit Texas and learn some of out ways? We have plenty of attractions. Btw I hated quiz rated 1 star

I'm from the northeast and it was spot on even after 17 years lived abroad in Rome, Italy and London, England.

NORTHERN ACCENT. I should go with Media and news jobs.

Real American.

I got northern central. I live in california, so this quiz is off for me.

I got Midland on both this quiz and the other one. :) I really do have no accent...

I'm from Louisiana I have always lived here. I did not get the

Quiz and I didn't get the questions. I got a western accent. I ain't

Midwestern!

I enjoyed the quiz but honestly did not understand the results ( beyond that I am mostly northern). What's with all the percentages for the other regions?

Thanks for the quiz. It is fascinating. I am from Vermont but my parents were from New York and Switzerland. I was always told to speak properly, ennunciate correctly as my mother was learning English when I was a small child. Then I lived in Maine for two and a half years. When I was 21, I moved to California where I have lived for over 35 years. I always thought I did not have an accent (the California accent) but I tested as having a Midland accent. I believe I have also been influenced by getting two Master's degrees and some acting classes years ago. Good luck with your book!

My mother is from Chicago, my father from Boston. I spent 4 years in school in the NY area and I've lived in Israel for the last 13 years among many different accented English speakers. I am not surprised to have been Midlanded!

The quiz id'd my accent as Western. It says, most people I meet would think I don't have an accent, unless I'm from the California coast. This statement needs clarifying. Does it mean if you are from the California coast, people there would hear an accent or people in general hear an accent if you're from the coast? I'm from the CA coast so I'm curious.

Quiz is wrong. Says I have a Philly accent. Ah aam a native Texan, 4th generation and Proud of it.

This quiz is not correct. Most people that I talk to tell me that I sound like I'm from the South (both of my parents are from the South - GA & NC)

This is inaccurate. We do not have an accent within a country we were born or accustomed into which we speak the same language. The correct term is dialect.
