me:

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.

What American accent do you have?
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."

That's a Southern accent you've got there. You may love it, you may hate it, you may swear you don't have it, but whatever the case, we can hear it.

Born in Colorado but moved immediately; lived in the DC area for a couple years, then TX for ~3yrs, NC ever since. My mom is from Minnesota, and my dad was born in NC, and moved to Africa when he was 13, and came back for good when he was 17.

the thing is, even in this state

there are quite a few different dialects


go to Murphy or up in Avery County


then go down to Hyde County, or "down east" Carteret County

I can almost tell what county people are from by their accent

I can't stand southern accents except on really hot white girls.

Everyone else, it makes them sound retarded.

i'm from the south...but i've been told by relocated northerners that i "don't sound like it" and that "i must have gone to a good school"

but also ive travelled around the country plenty and have listened to enough hip hop to be able to speak fluent northern lol

White people are always surprised when black people have deep southern accents.

They hear Randy Moss talk and think he's borderline Downs.

I do say pop, although I've been called on it so much I've toned it down. Both my parents are from, and I was born and raised in north western NC. Mt. Airy to be specific which isn't in, but not terribly far away from the mountains.

Although I do have the ocassionally slip up and say something like "are you sure you wont to do that?"

I differ from many in my family in that there is no place for a W in "dog"

teacher: "excuse me, i'm from pittsburgh...we call it pop...i guess you'd call it a soda"
classmate: "we call it coke"

I was midland, then inland north, then southern



the biggest things I have noticed about southern accent is that the words are pronounced correctly but are cut off at the end, for example, Tuesday is more like Tuesde, and of course, leaving the "g" off the end of words. Whereas a lot of northern accents just flat out fuck the word up

about the only word I had to force myself to say correctly growing up was "on". Almost everyone around me said it like "own" instead of "ahn"
