Do u have an accent | Comments

I find that there is a problem with all of these accents quizzes, here and on other sites. They all seem to use the very same words to test one on! Too, for the Southern accent, I read that North Carolina has 105 accent zones and each is slightly different. The South has maybe 1000 accents within the "Southern Accent" area!

Take "fire". some say "fahre", others say "far".

This here test tells me that I am from the Northeast. Another test, "do you have a Southern Accent?" gave to me a 90% rating!

I am thinking of creating my own Southern accent test! The accent I am familiar with. Many more questions than 8 or 12. But the test will undoubtedly reveal to you all my own take on accents and of my own.

"Oh give me a break" to all who really even remotely got offended by (any of) these tests. I am deep south, to Chicago, to Northern California...so I really wondered what kind of "mutt" accent I had! I am always pegged for Chicago, just like I can peg others (even those from different PARTS of the midwest!) We are all unique. No one is "better", just sometimes (subjectively), more FUNNY!...HEE! Peace, (or piyce, peeece, etc) :)

Your Result: Northern 86%

OUCH! you talk funny, I bet u get made fun of because how you talk, i kinda feel sorry for you maybe u should move to the south we were don't have accents.

This made me laugh a bit, but none of it is true. I do NOT talk funny, and nobody makes fun of me, because they all talk the same way as me. I DO live in the north, in upstate New York, but not in the city.

Basically mine is oh you have a northern accent but southerners don't.

Oh please. Only conceited people act like they don't have an accent. Everyone does and it's time we all accept that. You may not recognize that you have an accent but everyone else notices. So just grow up.

Funny because I'm from the North and I think people from the South DO have accents. Hmm... I guess it's really were you are from. If you want to make quizzes like this, make sure you don't offend the people taking the quiz. Thanks.

I got southerener, and i do live in Texas. I always have. The only words I use when typing are y'all(seriously, who says you all?*shudders*) and the occasional ain't.

Pretty accurate. But southerener is an accent, you know, y'all have the accents not us :P

This is nonsense. I've lived in 13 states and most decidedly have no accent, like most national newscasters. Also, for the creator of this quiz to suggest that Southerners have no accent is laughable.

I got northern, and funny enough I'm a linguistic's minor. This is actually pretty fun if you know how to do this s--- pretty accurately, cuz I'm from Chicago, and its pretty close to how we talk

I aM very sure this quiz is wrong i kind of have British and American accent not the funny one:)

I have never been to New York City. I have a Cockney accent. However Cockney is not even a choice.

OUCH! you talk funny, I bet u get made fun of because how you talk, i kinda feel sorry for you maybe u should move to the south we were don't have accents.

...racist!

Mate No one makes fun of how I talk because every one talks like that in Australia

I'm not a northern person though

Hello I do not talk funny. Nobody laughs at me.

this s---e, you need to improve your spelling and grammar before you start slagging accents you redneck

Southerners are the one's with accents...have you ever heard of "non regional diction"?!?!? lol

I'm German, so I have a German accent. I just took this for fun. The results were a NYC accent.
