Which American accent do you have? Quiz

[FitzChivalry]

My Results:





Midland

("Midland" is not necessarily the same thing as "Midwest") The default, lowest-common-denominator American accent that newscasters try to imitate. Since it's a neutral accent, just because you have a Midland accent doesn't mean you're from the Midland.



I have never been anywhere east of Colorado . . . and then I was only vacationing. I'm a born, raised and rooted Southern California boy to the core. Hmmmmm . . . . interesting results.

I live in a SORTA little town called Michigan City

I do NOT live in Michigan it's named after the lake!

I know where that is....and the reason that people confused your town with the state is that it's closer to Michigan than Illinois

 

[ILuvLarryMullen]

Midland. I'm from California. Most people here have a midland accent, to pick out the California accents they need to ask how often you say the word "like" .

Hey, I have to drive right thru Michigan City to get to my parents in Joliet, IL

Stop by Quiznos next time you pass through

And I realize I live closer to Michigan, but...let's just say Michigan and I don't get along so well

Which American accent do you have?
Neutral

You`re not Northern, Southern, or Western, you`re just plain -American-. Your national identity is more important than your local identity, because you don`t really have a local identity. You might be from the region in that map, which is defined by this kind of accent, but you could easily not be. Or maybe you just moved around a lot growing up.

Pegged me perfectly!

Western

 

[sue4u2]

Pegged me too. I'm Southern to the core.

Of all the American accents, is the Northeast New England one the closest to the British accent? If so, then it makes perfect sense. Indian accent is most influenced by the British accent obviously.. since the bastards ruled us!

 

[Bono's shades]

Neutral. I wonder if that has anything with my parents living in so many different parts of the country when my dad was in the military?

Northern

You have a Northern accent. That could either be the Chicago/Detroit/Cleveland/Buffalo accent (easily recognizable) or the Western New England accent that news networks go for.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I took that bullshit accent test just now and those fuckers told me I have a "Western" accent.

This test is now officially null and void.

I just retook the test for you and it said:

You sound like Stephen Hawkings cause Dalton is about to rip out your fucking throat.

Hurts don't it.

Hey, Stephen Hawking's voice has gotten him a lot of tail over the years so I'd be cool with that.

Of all the American accents, is the Northeast New England one the closest to the British accent?

Generally yes, assuming by 'British' you basically mean eastern England.

To my ear the British influence is much more obvious in Indian English (pretty much regardless of subdialect) than in American English, but that could just be because I'm American and tend to hear all American accents relative to 'General American' English. Not that all international dialects of English aren't ultimately 'British-influenced' of course...lol.

 

[JCOSTER]

Well they got that right!

Which American accent do you have?
Northeastern

This could either mean an r-less NYC or Providence accent or one from Jersey which doesn't sound the same. Just because you got this result doesn't mean you don`t pronounce R's.(People in Jersey don`t call their state "Joisey" in real life)

 

[ewings]

Pegged me, too -- neutral. I live north of Indianapolis in Lafayette, IN.

 

[Zoomerang96]

neutral.

i'd actually be interested in knowing what accent i have, as i seem to get... plenty of comments on it.

 

[meegannie]

Neutral.

I always get Canadian, Irish, Australian ( ), or 'British person who spent some time in America or watches a lot of American TV.'

 

[DeadMansParty]

Lol, it said I was neutral but the states they gave me is no where near where im from, I guess they dont get Cali speak.

 

[u2popmofo]

Neutral as well.

 

[elevation2u]

It said "Northen", which couldn't be any further from the truth.

 

[Galeongirl]

I get northern too is that bad or good for someone who doesn't even speak english in their day to day life?

 

[BonoFox1]

What people call the "Minnesota accent." Sounds almost Canadian. You may have even been asked if you were from Canada before


which is surprising to me since I have a slight Latin accent.

not to mention my somewhat noticable lisp when i say words with the letter S

 

[discothequeLP]

western. what up.

That's about right, even though I was born and raised in NYC...whenever I go places people tell me that I don't sound like a New Yawker and I've always thought myself to have more of a generic Northern accent. Not sure how I escaped a Noo Yawk accent as my dad and brother and sister all have Bronx accents of varying degrees; I guess I take after my mother who also has a more generic Northern accent (she's from Manhattan).
