Cincy'sMom, I think that would qualify you as an honorary citizen of Pittsburgh or Da 'burgh!Quote:

I live in Texas. Go figure. :p
I took the test for fun. This is my result: LOL!
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.
Philadelphia
The Inland North
The Midland
The South
Boston
The West
North Central
In the one Phred posted, I'd need some " Don't know" answers. ;)
This isn't surprising at all. :) I got South, with Midland immediately after it! I wasn't sure if it would come up Midland or South. But, people never guess I'm from the South, they either think California or the Midlands (my mother's from Illinois, my biological father hailed from Indiana and my step dad is from Maine). I moved from the South at thirteen, and have been in Germany, Washington, Virginia, Texas and South Carolina ever since. My accent's all over the place, y'all! ;)

Here is a little lesson in Chicagospeak; it's true! The only thing it's missing is "carkies" which you put into the door to unlock, and the ignition to start your automobile.

I have learned to speak a little of the local dialect here in SoCal (have eliminated "pop" as reference to....well pop...) but I slipped the other day. Lost once again, I stopped at a gas station and asked about the "espressway." "What's an expressway???" was the answer. (of course with the traffic here it is easy to understand why the term isn't used.)
And Cassie...that Chicago dictionary is also missing "by" as in...I went by my mother's house last night. (Non-Chicagoans would say I went to my mother's house...)
Inland North!!
Same here. I was born in Indianapolis. :) I have been told I have a southern accent, but I don't think so. Southern Indiana maybe. :)Quote:

Yes, I DO drink pop, but so does everyone in Fort Wayne, and they do in Western Nebraska, too.
Spinoff post to follow!
"North Central" is what professional linguists call the Minnesota accent. If you saw "Fargo" you probably didn't think the characters sounded very out of the ordinary. Outsiders probably mistake you for a Canadian a lot.
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.
Makes sense, since I have lived in Wyoming or Colorado almost all my life.
The West. Hmmm... well I live in the west right now... but everyone here tells me my accent is definatly northern. Maybe a little of both?
:) For sure "Taxiin" {texcan} with of Course Southern hospitality.. :D

huh... I guess i have a Canadian Accent, eh?!
What aboot that!
Well my fellow Canadians, guess we all sound the same. I took the test and just about fell out of my chair laughing when it said North Central - probably mistaken for a Canadian. This was fun, thanks.
Haha... that's funny... I got northeastern and I'm in Eastern Canada :PQuote:
