What American accent do you have? | Comments

I lived 25 years in the Ohio Valley. Folks in Cincinnati thought I was from Kentucky. I have since lived in a number of Southern and Western states, now live in PA.

Well actually I am from England, that is the old original one not New England, but the quiz says I am from Inland North America. How bizarre!

It says a Southern accent but I lived the firth 29 years of my life in LA... My family is from the South and they all swear I don't sound anything like them and I talk funny...

From NC. Took it twice with a month between so I didn't quite remember my answers. 88% southern second time. Southern first time, but with lower %. I hate it, but people always say I sound like a freakin belle. Grrr.

This quiz is dead wrong. Only thing northern about my accent is that its from North Carolina. I was born in the Piedmont from parents both born in the Piedmont.

All good except for Mary merry and marry

For me Mary and marry sound the same and merry sounds different, so couldn't answer that one :)

This was spot on for me. Says my accent (or lack of) is The West and i am from California ! I have lived in Atlanta area for 7yrs and have not lost my Western accent apparently !

I was born and raised in Raleigh, NC and have only visited Philadelphia four times in my life but I ALWAYS score Philly when I take this test.

I am from Up-state New York ( Rochester)and the quiz said Inland North...many people have told me that I sound like someone from England, even though I have never to either of those places

Not good... From Philadelphia?!?!? I'm a 3rd generation So. California native. Dad was from Iowa, Mom from Calif, and greatgrand parents from Europe... Weird.

It said I had a "Midland" accent. I am from West Virginia and get made fun of for my southern appalachia accent while living in northwestern WV, close to Ohio border.

Very nice, but I am a genuine Puertorican, borned and raised in PR. Finished my university, moved to and live in New Jersey for 18 yrs., then live in Florida for the last 17 yrs. I am so proud of myself.

This "quiz" was wrong on all counts. Not from Wisconsin or Chicago, and have never called my Diet Pepsi's POP! Nice try though. I'm from North Carolina!!!

Guys... I saw this was the top quiz and went on here. Any advice on sleeping? It's 5 am and I have to get up for the first day of school in 3 hours. I don't understand this cuz I'm going in 7th grade so I know what it's like it's just I'm scared. Any tips? I can't take sleeping pills cuz my mom doesn't want me to take an overdose on accident. And I've tried everything from hypnosis to counting! Plz help!!!!!!!! And don't say get off the Internet because I've been laying here with my eyes closed since 11:00. Plz plz plz plz help me. This happens a lot!!!!!!

I'm from the UK and have lived in the midwest (Minnesota) for 45 years. People often mistake my accent for the east coast, which is where the quiz places me.

Totally wrong. I am from Mississippi and have lived my entire life in the South, thank God. I do not have a Pennsylvania accent, again thank God.

Quiz tells me I have an accent from the Northeast -

Never been out of the South. Born and raised in

Alabama, lived in Texas, Louisiana and Georgia.

Wow! I lived in Al until I was five when we moved to W.Va. At seven we moved to MI and I have lived here since then except for two years in CA. Can't believe I rated a southern accent but am very pleased!

Hi,everyone!I just finished my new quiz,"Could you be my friend?"!

It will tell you if we would be besties,just friends,frenemies or just plain

enemies!Chec k it out!By the way,my name is Alexa Dallas.

Well, this test could not be more wrong! Results say I should be from Philadelphia, when I was born and raised in Texas and have lived my entire 72 years in the South.

I'm a native southern Californian, lived here all my 70+ years, and the quiz said I'm from Philly. I did spend a couple of nights near there about 20 years ago.

Well, I was born in Kansas but we moved to Northwest Oregon when I was 3. I am the older generation now. My mother was born in Oklahoma. So i would say that my accent is NOT an accent

I'm totally not from the Midland. Lived all my life until age 22 in the Pacific Northwest. This test is biased toward the eastern half of the country. Helloooo!!!

I have spent 75 years in Panama & the Canal Zone with roots in Indiana & Statan Island NY,, yet the test says I am from the Inland North, meaning...? My New York City friend pronounces "bottle" without the t's & "whore" as "hoo-oer".
