What Accent do You Have?
« on: December 22, 2012, 10:03:55 PM »
I took this test http://www.gotoquiz.com/what_american_accent_do_you_have and it said that I have a Midland accent. My friends also agreed that I have a neutral accent.
I also apparently would have a good voice on TV or radio...

Your Result: The West (96%)

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.

So do you have more of a redneck accent, or a Californian/Surfer accent? Or just plain like mine?

Your Result: The Midland (88%)

Probably the closest even though I'm Canadian. Technically, I have a Northern Ontario accent for both french and english though.

considering I live in arizona that makes sense, we haven't had long enough to form our own accent

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."

not really, i call carbonated drinks of refrigerante and coca :P
Others:

70%The Northeast
 
52%Philadelphia
 
50%The Midland
 
46%The South

7%The West

I got inland north, but I'm not sure this is that accurate. I tried anything a thick Bostonian would say and only got Boston 30%.
I got more Boston than someone who lives in Boston, that can't be right.

Your Result: North Central

This is what people call a "Minnesota accent" or "Fargo accent" as heard in the movies "Fargo" (obviously) and "Drop Dead Gorgeous." People with this accent live in northern part of Minnesota and in North Dakota, right next to the Canadian border. Some people might think you're a Canadian because of your accent.

I live 50km north of Minnesota. That's pretty accurate.

What American accent do you really have?
Your Result: Northern
 
88%
Your accent is Northern, which used to be the media standard in the '50s and '60s. Your accent could either be Inland Northern (Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo) or the more broadcasting-friendly Upstate NY/Western New England accent. If you have the Inland North accent, outsiders probably ask you a lot if you're from Chicago or Wisconsin.
 
83%Northeastern
 
75%Mid-Atlantic
 
70%Southern
 
69%Midland
 
50%North Central
 
46%Northeast New England
 
46%Western

That quiz was faulty, I posted a new version that was way more accurate.
I got the same result. It wasn't even much different.

Accents are overrated.
