What American accent do you really have? | Comments

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."

and I'm a Canadian lol

Mine said West but we rilly don't have accents

here in AZ!

One thing's fer sure, we fil good when summer's over.

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. :)

I aint from stupid maryland or chicago this quiz is just wrong im from jersey and everybody thinks im from Boston or New York

I took the first quiz and it said Minnesota but also said i could be mistaken for a English speaking Canadian. Thats what I am. The second time I took it, it said Western US.. The second one doesnt say Canadian but I think it is actually more accurate. People in Canada west of Quebec sound a lot more like Americans in the prairies and West than they sound like the Americans in the mid west and Minnesota. I noticed that it also stated strong similarities with North Central and MIdland though on the bars. I think the test was pretty accurate.

I grew up in Maryland, and still do (mostly) have a Midland accent. The only question that gave me difficulty was concerning "on". I don't say it like I say either dawn or don, but rather as a two syllable word, something like /u/ /schwa/ /n/. It doesn't rhyme with any other word I can think of...

i got western but ive always lived in maryland.

I got a Mid-Atlantic Accent, they were right I have lived in Philly for my whole life.

I must have answered the questions wrong, I have a pretty obvious Southern accent but I got western, Southern was way at the bottom..

I got North-Central, which is funny because whenever I visit Minnesota, I think everyone there sounds funny. However, I do agree that I sound somewhat Canadian: I'm from Montana, and we seem to sound a lot like Albertans from my experience.

It said I have a Northern accent, which isn't too bad seeing as I grew up in CT, just above the NYC inflection and a bit below the atrocious Mass accent. I ran a test using the answers that should have generated a result for a Maine accent (which is about as atrocious as Mass and RI), but it ended up being North Central. Not really too accurate, as far as the ear is concerned.

I got scored a Boston accent; however, I am from Southern California. I have never been to New England and have never lived anywhere else in the United States. I find it a bit odd. I suspect that the reason that the test gives me this result is because of the way I pronounce "horrible".
