What American accent do you have?

[chevysoldier]

Take the quiz, post your results. Should be interesting if there is any difference since the majority of us are in Ohio.

Mine is:

Neutral

You`re not Northern, Southern, or Western, you`re just plain -American-. Your national identity is more important than your local identity, because you don`t really have a local identity. You might be from the region in that map, which is defined by this kind of accent, but you could easily not be. Or maybe you just moved around a lot growing

Really? Huh.

Western

Western is kind of neutral, but not quite since it`s still possible to tell where you`re from. So you might not actually be from the West (but you probably are). If you really want to sound "neutral," learn how to say "stock" and "stalk" differently.

And THIS is why I figured it would get interesting. I know a girl that has lived in Ohio all her life but she sounds like she is from Texas.

Neutral for me, but not unusual for the mid ohio area. Nor unusual since I grew up in six different states / eight different cities scattered all over the country.

Funny ... Northern. Pretty spot on since I was born in Detroit and raised near Toledo.

[chevysoldier]

That "pop" map is pretty interesting, and true. What accent did you get Tom?

Edit: NM, you ninja-edited on me.

[Disclaimer]

Also, neutral.

[chevysoldier]

Also, neutral.

Have you always live up North?

[hollywood3586]

Lol

Which American accent do you have?

Northeastern

This could either mean an r-less NYC or Providence accent or one from Jersey which doesn't sound the same. Just because you got this result doesn't mean you don`t pronounce R's.(People in Jersey don`t call their state "Joisey" in real life)

[Disclaimer]

I guess I dunno what "North" is. The southern-most I've lived was Mansfield, the northern-most; Flint, MI

Joisey, I just busted out laughing saying that for some reason.

I'd consider that "North".

I am glad this quiz didn't ask if you inadvertently add "sh" to the beginning of words. I have a real bad habit of doing it and not realizing it. But thanks to Josh I know every time it happens.....

Northern.

I did live in Cleveland suburbs for most of 28 years.

Well, much further north and you're in a different fucking country. I'd say that's pretty north.

I'm glad I wasn't drinking anything.

[chevysoldier]

Cuz I'm still laughing.

Which American accent do you have?

My Results:

North Central

What people call the "Minnesota accent." Sounds almost Canadian. You may have even been asked if you were from Canada before.

That's funny as I've spent the last 2 weeks in Northwestern Minnesota.

^---- THAT is north. My most recent bus. trips were to the twin cities. They talk like canucks there.

No, that's northwest. Geography not your strong point?

[Disclaimer]

Depends on your point of origin. If specifically from Ohio... then sure, it's Northwest of here.

But, the "Northwest" as it's colloquially known... is the Oregon/Washington area of the country. Not Minnesota.

What about geography again?

I don't know why, but you are killing me tonight.
