| What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Midland
“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. |

Hmmm. I totally thought it’d be Midwestern for me, but this was my result (I don’t think it was an accurate test):
That’s a Southern accent you’ve got there. You may love it, you may hate it, you may swear you don’t have it, but whatever the case, we can hear it.

As you can tell from my Wavatar, I am displeased. And a bit shocked.
Doesn’t make sense to me, I think we have practically identical accents.
For our readers, we have now compared our answers, and they were different enough to produce different results.
Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you’re a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta.

“Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech.” Bummer!
What American accent do you have? Your Result: The Northeast 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.Philadelphia The Inland North The Midland The South Boston The West North Central What American accent do you have?Quiz Created on GoToQuiz
Amber’s result only surprises me, in that the quiz was accurate enough to pinpoint the American accent she most closely resembles. And it pegged Patrick, I guess. I don’t hear a hint of “Southern accent” in Tracey. Very strange.
And, yes, things are still set up to only allow HTML for those who post here. Sorry. At least most of the post still makes sense.
Well, I don’t know much about how to post the links, but my result was 100% Philadelphia. The comments said something to the order of “You are as Philly’ as cheesesteaks,” if I remember correctly :-).
