Check your accent

[ProStockJunkie]

( What American accent do you have?)

(I'm 100% Northeast)

 

[HEMI6point1]

I'm 90% southern.

Although everyone I meet says I sound like I'm from NY.

 

[.]

I don't have an accent, which I already knew.

 

[d'kid]

North Inland? like I am a scandahovian? Duh, born in Seattle, grew up in L.A., have lived in Reno/Sparks, Portland, Pop's family is from Ennis, Montana. been living in Norfolk (Na-F*ck), Va last twenty or so years... Like totally awesome, ya know Cabrone...

What American accent do you have?

Your Result: The Midland

"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.

Here in NM we talk like Most West coasters, except Eastern NM sounds very Texass.

 

[ProStockJunkie]

So, are the assessments mostly accurate, or not even close for you folks.

Mine was right on, or so I've been told. (I don't think I have an accent)

Right on, on my origins. Northeast, but I've been in the south so long (28 years) you can hardly tell it except for the key words they used in their poll. Like "pin" and "pen", a lot of people here say "ink pen" to distinguish between the two. My name, Barry, gets proniunced "Berry" by a lot people down here.

 

[d'kid]

Not hardly, use SoCal slang, sometimes I speak like a surfer, sometimes I sound like I'm from East L.A., I can and do put on a thick Southern drawl, and sometimes I sound like my Step-mum, so I totally think that bloody test has no true basis, after all, each word does have it's own distinct pronunciation... and you jolly well can't tell how a person sounds, unless you hear them, yhaw, me lassie?

 

[Gutter Brain]

I was born and raised in Tacoma, WA. (No accent by the way) I am now living close to Chicago. The result says I am "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."

Same here.

LOL, to sound like you're from New York City, just reverse your "er" and "uh" sounds at the ends of words. "The workuh bought a pete-zer and a bottle of vodker."

I told my New Jersey mother in law that and, I'm not making this up, she said "I have no idear why anyone would say that"

 

[me]

Your result = Boston
Right on born & grew up in Boston.

 

[rollemup]

.........100% Western, which is right on. I was born and raised in so-cal

 

[Al smith]

Bingo

judging by how you speak you are probably from North Jersey

but they dont have anything to measure how fast i talk. like many Jersians.

 

[Don]

THE SOUTH
(as if that was a suprise)

Surfs Up dude! lol

 

[Paul]

The midland here, my highest rank was Philadelphia. Not a shock considering I grew up in the Philly suburbs.

 

[Deby]

Southern...like it or not....that's me...lived most of my life in the great states of Tennessee and Texas...

 

[The Mighty]

Thought it would be interesting to see how my Yorkshire accent (that real English btw) would come out in the American accent test.

Well I come out as "the inland north" which is very odd because no-one understands a word I say in Chicago, whereas I'm always understood in Texas!

Bout time you lot learned to speak proper English like what we does anyway Innit!

LMAO!!!

A friend of mine in London says there are something like 80 different English accents. She can name someone and say "That's a Birmingham....", etc.
