    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.
