I got the West..which is right on.. i lived in California most of my life and am in Arizona now

"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."

"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.


I want to have an accent! I think it would be so cool to have one!

I'm from Northern Indiana... so maybe just a little close?

I have a Pittsburgh accent! As a matter of fact, I believe we have our own language. We say phrases like "reading up a room", "Slippy" as in a slippy snow covered road, "telepole",for telephone pole, "gumbans", for rubber bands, "pop", for soda, and the ever popular "yinz", for you people. There are a lot more.

No surprise here - Boston accent, it says. But real Bostonians sound different than I do, as I don't drop Rs like the broader accented ones do.

Sometimes people tell me they think I have an accent and ask me where I'm from. I tell them that I've lived in Scotland, Taiwan, Pakistan, Turkey, California and Alaska. But, they swear I have a "southern" accent. It must be all these years married to an "Okie".

I guess the Midland accent is from my parents -- who are both from southern Illinois.

According to the quiz, I have a Boston accent! Not too bad considering I was born and raised in Pitsburgh. I guess people in Pittsburgh and Boston have the same accent.

Yup, Southern California born and raised. Sadly, I don't think SoCal surfers have accents though; maybe different vocab, but that's it dude.

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.

I was born in PA but moved to S.C. when I was 8 years old and lived there until I was 19 years old. Then I moved to CA and have been here ever since except for when I went to college in S.C. In S.C. everyone thought that I had a northern accent and in CA a lot of people still think that I have a southern accent.

Ha ha, I did this purely out of interest to see what a Lancastrian accent would sound like with an Ameican twang! For all the questions, I answered that none of the words are pronounced the same and it seemed really odd to me that someone would pronounce stock (stok) and stalk (stork) the same, or how 'on' could rhyme with dawn (dorn)!

I got a Northeastern accent, cool!
