What American accent do you have? | Comments

I was born & raised in UT. & have lived primarily in UT & CO... How could I be mistaken for being from Florida or other Big Southern states??? :P

On does not rhyme with Don or dawn in my part of the South. It rhymes with own but that wasn't a choice. It would take a much longer test to really accomplish what this attempts to do.

SO far from correct! I am as Southern as anybody can get, born & raised in MS by MS mom & Al dad. Our family has been Southern as far back as any of them could be traced, which was VA in the late 1600's. PHILADELPHIA???? I've never even BEEN there!

You said I had a 97 percent NY Accent. Actually i am 100 percent Baltimore. I think there are substantial differences between the accents of my NYC cousins and mine.

I live in South Carolina, my whole entire extended family is from Ohio, and it said I have a Western accent, which it said is like neutral/having no accent

I'm a Brit, and I'm placed as Rhode I or Conn, which I think is New England area, so that seems as near as it could get, really. I'd have been surprised had it said I was from TX, lol.

Pennsylvania is almost South Texas - except for the part about moving all over the country, including Pennsylvania, Kentucky, California, Alabama, Louisiana, New Jersey, and Michigan...

Well it said I came from midland northeast as in Chicargo,great lakes Naaah and i don't and never have said pop.@nd closest percentage was philly closer to new york,new jersey where I am from.

Quiz result was way off. I am a native Californian, and when I am out of state, people ask me if I am from Cal, but quiz rated me as "North Central". We are not impressed.

Lol, I got the Inland North. I grew up mostly in the south though. I've lived in the North for around 5 years.. but the south, I have been living for around 6 years. :P It's kinda obvious, it doesn't matter.

Not even close. I was born in South Carolina, grew up in Georgia, & moved back to South Carolina in 1999. But my result was...wait for it...Philadelphia. X-D

I knew it would tell me I had a Philadelphia accent -- and it was 100%, too. Born and raised, and will eat a cheese steak, scrapple, or turtle soup any time!

Yes, I'm from the northeast (upstate NY), but carbonated drinks were called "soda" or "soft drinks" in my day, not "pop", so you got that wrong.

North Central, though I'm from Oregon. A few people have thought I was Canadian, odd since Oregon speech is supposedly 90% the same as California.

now for the real comment:

I got midland, which is totally not right. I'm from Charlotte, North Carolina, and I have a slight southern accent and say ya'll all the time.

Philadelphia accent? I don't think so. Your quiz results are inaccurate. I did spend 3 months in Philadelphia, and that was more than enough.

The quiz says I am from the south......well anything is better than nothing...any way I am from Egypt,a teacher of English and very proud of the American accent..

My greetings to you all

Philadelphia. I got, Philadelphia.

I live an Asian country called Taiwan, and the farthest place I went is my mom's hometown in the Philippines.

Go figure.

Your quiz got my accent so wrong! I was born in Ohio but never lived there past the age of 1 year. I have been in Fl since before turning 2 years old. My son got the same result and he has lived in Florida all of his life.

It says BOSTON for me. I have never been to or lived anywhere near the Boston area. I was born in Ohio and have lived in California for 67 years.

Quite amusing...your test tells me that I am from the north-west or the New England region...wrong..I am German and learned proper (British) English. Most people ask me if I'm English.

Well, the quiz was right about northeast, but did not get the specific of Long Island. To be fair, I'm told I speak with very little accent.

Possibly some people aren't sure how they really do pronounce words. I thought it was simple to answer and the results were exactly - Midland.

I got a Philadelphia accent, but I'm in the East Coast! That's so weird, I've never been to Philly! But I do love cheese steak.... Beef and cheese is so delicious. .-.
