What Kind of American Accent do you have?

[Freedom]

"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 think that makes sense based on all the moving I've done all over. First 20 years or so I had a strong Boston accent, then I moved and got taunted and teased and reallyworked to soften it. Guess I succeeded!

Your Result: Philadelphia

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.

Being that I lived 20 minutes from Philly most of my life...that is right on. I am a Jersey girl!! Close enough to Philly!!

I went on a cruise for my honeymoon and was told that my accent was "stronger" than my husbands. Which I guess is true ( he grew up a little more morth than me)...but I had never thought of myself as having an accent. Especially since the girl telling me this was as southern as southern can get!!

Your Result: Boston

You definitely have a Boston accent, even if you think you don't. Of course, that doesn't mean you are from the Boston area, you may also be from New Hampshire or Maine.

Odd, seeing as I was born and raised in Arkansas. The South was 5th on the list.

What American accent do you have?

Your Result: North Central

"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.

I took it even though I am Canadian and what do you know it said I was.
