What American accent do you have? (quiz)?

Question

http://www.gotoquiz.com/what_american_accent_do_you_have

take this really short and quick quiz, what American accent do you have?

my result: "You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.

Answer 1

Your Result: The Inland North


You may think you speak "Standard English straight out of the dictionary" but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like "Are you from Wisconsin?" or "Are you from Chicago?" Chances are you call carbonated drinks "pop."

lol
I am not from US at all, on the first place, but nice to know anyway.

Answer 2

Your Result: The Midland

Answer 3

Well first of all I am Australian so I have an Australian accent (but I have lived in the states for a couple of years) they said I have a Northeast accent which is funny cause I lived in CA and CO and only visited NY.

Your Result: The Northeast

Judging by how you talk you are probably from north Jersey, New York City, Connecticut or Rhode Island. Chances are, if you are from New York City (and not those other places) people would probably be able to tell if they actually heard you speak.

Answer 4

Your Result: The West Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta. I'm from Portland, Oregon. I have a West Coast American accent.

Answer 5

According to the quiz, I also have a "Midland accent". That's very interesting considering I was born and raised in Hawaii. In Hawaii, Pidgin (Creole) English is very prevalent. However, because my father was former military, he didn't let us use Pidgin English. We were taught to speak proper English. Also, a friend from college had no idea that I was born and raised in Hawaii because I don't normally use Pidgin English so he could not hear an accent on me. I do know how to turn my Pidgin English on and off. It also depends on who I talk to. If I'm talking to someone of an older generation, I tend to use Pidgin English more.

Best wishes!

Answer 6

Your accent is as Philadelphian as a cheesesteak! If you're not from Philadelphia, then you're from someplace near there like south Jersey, Baltimore, or Wilmington. if you've ever journeyed to some far off place where people don't know that Philly has an accent, someone may have thought you talked a little weird even though they didn't have a clue what accent it was they heard.

they were right!i was born in Philadelphia and raised in new jersey!hehe!!

Answer 7

Southern accent

Answer 8

I got Inland north. I'd say that is fairly accurate. I lived in Minneapolis for a time. I'm from the southwest. When I moved to Minneapolis friends said I had a spanish accent. When I came back to the southwest friends said I had a canadian accent. Good day heh?!

Answer 9

I have a southern accent. According to my family in the south I have an accent but it aint country! Im a girl from Texas who moved to Indiana, back to texas, to south carolina, back to indiana and you want me to be able to tell you what kind of accent i have??? Confused!

Answer 10
