Born and raised Colorado, also pegged with Midlands accent ... uh, and by the way, we don't have a region in the US called the Midlands, that's a British thing.
Worthless quiz.

Someone has no doubt already mentioned this but what about these:
1) do you pronounce coupon as 'coopon' or 'q-pon'?
2) do you pronounce vase as 'vahz', 'vaze' or 'vace'?
3) do you pronounce aunt as 'ant' or 'awnt'?
4) do you pronounce creek as like 'Greek' and 'peek' or 'crick'?

So, I'm actually Maltese, but I don't have an American accent so this guessing for the American accent is still pretty good though!

Your Result: The South 84%
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.
I'm from Maryland. How'd I get this?????????

And I was born in Missouri

Life is not worth living without happiness, it can be very displeasing most times when you lose the person you cherish most through breakup. Most people prefers moving on to a new life, but they can never find a perfect replacement especially when he/she is their soul mate. I always ignores adverts on blogs and don’t like reading testimonies about Love Spell because most of them don't sound real, besides I hates magic, I only like seeing things physical before I can involve. But I decided to “TRY” one after confirming from my friend who also commented about Dr. AMIGO. I chose Dr. AMIGO because I have been battling for eight months with wounded heart even though I was in a fruitfulness relationship after our breakup. It wasn’t easy to erase the memories of my Ex. With great fear written all over me, I email Dr. AMIGO to do readings on us before i ordered for Love Spell. Doc’s inspirational words gave me courage during the process that took just two days to complete. The result was out on the third day, my Ex came to me at the place we first met many years ago, apologized for causing the break up for no reason, thanked me for strengthening the bond between us again because he was too weak to get back to me and also promised to spend his entire life with me. I doubts no more after finding out that DR AMIGO'S Love Spell is not magic but spiritual healing. I am so honored, joining thousands of people praising Doc’s great power via Google as "DR AMIGO ONLINE LOVE SPELL CASTER" to review his article

Wow! That was pretty accurate! It said: outsiders probably mistake you for Canadian a lot, and well, I'm Canadian! Nice!

The answer I got was completely off. I got the West, or a big Southern city...I am from Long Island, pretty much the exact opposit of any of the South.

I'm noticing a lot of people TOTALLY RAGING about the fact that they're not from Philadelphia or the Inland North. The reason you're getting those results is probably because you say your "cot" and "caught" vowels very distinctly and (for those getting Philly) distinguish more of your vowels before R before another vowel, the latter of which is more common on the East Coast. If you say "on" to rhyme with "don", you're very likely to get the Inland North accent, especially if you also say "merry/marry/Mary" the same. So if you're RAGING about your result being wrong, calm your tits. All it means is you have more or fewer distinctions in vowels than the area you're from.
As for my result, it's as accurate as a quiz that cannot actually here me speak can be. My native accent is the Boston accent, but I always felt that cot & caught sounded different. I moved from Mass when I was nine to multiple cot-caught distinct, "awn" for "on" places, but took with me my "merry/marry/Mary" distinctions. That's basically the structure for the Mid-Atlantic/Philly accents aside from the "baeth" for "bath" (and other words) pronunciation they have.

Chances are I call a carbonated drink "soda"-I have never and will never call it "pop". How about a "bubbler"? Do you know where I am from?

This is waaayyy off! I am from Colorado which has the least accent of any state. It claims I'm from the Northeast! Fun quiz and funny! I wont hold it against you! :)

The quiz said I was "Inland North". I have lived in Louisiana all my life. But my Dad is from Buffalo, NY. So I think that had a huge impact on my pronunciation.

It says Boston, but could be Maine or NH. I'm from Maine, but lived the past 40 years in NH. A Maine accent can be about three different things, but none of them sound like Boston!

I was born and raised in Cleveland, OH. Never been to the south in my life, and have lived in California since 1985. I don't think this test is accurate.

Not even close. I'm a native Atlantan. I will never call Coke "pop." And absolutely no one has ever confused me for a Midwesterner.
