What American accent do you really have? | Comments

I got North-Central, which is funny because whenever I visit Minnesota, I think everyone there sounds funny. However, I do agree that I sound somewhat Canadian: I'm from Montana, and we seem to sound a lot like Albertans from my experience.

Born and raised New York City (East Harlem), mother from Hell's Kitchen/San Juan, father lived in Tennessee (Tri-City area). And somehow I have a Minnesota accent. ?!

My results were North Central. I have been through that area by train only and have never set foot on that area. I'm a native of Washington State, where I still live. I have lived about 20 miles south of Canada for the past 25 years.

In first quiz I got an answer that I have Midland accent. In THIS quiz result said I'm from Chicago. Neither is right. I'm from Poland, but I don't blame the author of this quiz, because it is made for Americans, not outlanders. :)

iI got a "Midland " rating with an 88 per cent chance of Western. well, almost right. I have lived my entire life in Montana and Colorado. Hope the quiz makers do not think these states are " Midland" states. We think we are Westerners!

My top two results: western then North central. Add 'em up and you get the place I've lived my whole life, the northwest. And the same result as that other quiz. Guess I'm just consistently northwestern!

I got Western both on this quiz and the last but I haven't lived anywhere outside of Massachusetts. Maybe anyone who isn't from the Boston area of MA sounds like someone from the West?

I am from Baltimore. I sound like I am from Baltimore. I have such a heavy accent that people don't understand wth I'm saying half the time. So why the hell would I have a southern Midwest accent????

Midland, better than the last one. Grew up in Colorado, lived in Kansas, Missouri and now Nevada. Most often people comment on my lack of accent and can't figure out where I am from.

My result is northeastern while the truth is that I'm a 17-year-old Chinese girl and have never been to America...Maybe I should have a trip to America after finishing my high school...

It gave me both 88% for supposedly having a Midland and North Central accent, but I'm from upstate New York xD I don't really know if that works for me haha.

I enjoyed the quiz but honestly did not understand the results ( beyond that I am mostly northern). What's with all the percentages for the other regions?

Nice quiz. Both versions worked for me (I'm a native Northern Californian). You need to fix question 17 on the second version of the quiz; it isn't displaying completely.

I have a problem with question number 7. I don't pronounce 'on' like don or dawn. I pronounce it like own or hone with a long O sound. So another option should be included, either 'it does not sounds like either,' or 'it rhymes with bone or hone.'

I'm from Louisiana I have always lived here. I did not get the

Quiz and I didn't get the questions. I got a western accent. I ain't

Midwestern!

I'm from South Carolina and all of my friends say that i have a true southern accent. But I can never hear it. And according to this quiz i have a southern accent

This is inaccurate. We do not have an accent within a country we were born or accustomed into which we speak the same language. The correct term is dialect.

Wow, I got Mid-Atlantic, which is exactly where I am from. Then, Southern barely trailed, which makes sense, as a lot of my family is from there. Great quiz!

I must have answered the questions wrong, I have a pretty obvious Southern accent but I got western, Southern was way at the bottom..

Filipino here & to me it seems that the western American accent is quite common here. Might be the influence of Hollywood films

Philadelphia . . Humm . . . I've ever met with phillian in that time was working at trade buy new or old car dealerships are in central java , persist in BLORA .

I'm from the northeast and it was spot on even after 17 years lived abroad in Rome, Italy and London, England.

Interesting! I'm from central Europe with little knowledge about the diferencies in American accents. But I waas curious and the outcome seems reasonable: Northeastern

So accurate...I'm not American, I'm Canadian. And the quiz said people might think I was Canadian.

I was tested North Central, LOL, I am from Albuquerque, New Mexico the state between Arizona and Texas.
