What Kind of American Accent do you have?

[Laura's Babies]

That's a Southern accent you've got there. You may love it, you may hate it, you may swear you don't have it, but whatever the case, we can hear it.

Ah hem.... It's the SUNNY South folks!

LMAO i took that one just for fun:

You are 11% Pittsburgh.

Jeez-o-man! That's an awful score. You know nothing about Picksburgh. You're probably also a Dallas Cowboys fan. You're just not cut out for this quiz. I guess it's just a Burgh thing

haha well considering i've never been to Pittsburgh, i'd say thats right on..uh, except for the cowboys part ROFLMAO

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.

My results:
"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.

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!

While I was doing it I was thinking to myself how could anyone say these different they sound the same! Most of the words sounded the same for me.

Phred, I couldn't even begin to guess at an answer to most of them. I guess I am 0% Pittsburgh. LOL!

[Miss Z]

Heh heh, I just did the 'How English are you?' and got 100%. I have to say though that the quiz was extremely biased as I rarely drink tea and I prefer my scones only with cream and no jam.

I also did the Welsh one and I'm 74% Welsh, so does that make me 174% British?

Midland accent here. I wonder why it says Southern Ohio? I think there is more of an accent there in Northern Ohio.

As for the PIttsburgh quiz, never been there, but got a 97%!! I guess I have enough friends fromthere to understand the talk?

[Ginger's Mom]

100% Philadelphia.
I was very amused by your result, buttercup (some people may mistake you for Canadian, lol).

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

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."

I live in Texas. Go figure.

[Randi]

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!
