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.

From the new test I land in this range, considering I pronounce some of these words with no greater prevalence between one or another.

36% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee.
46% Dixie. Barely in Yankeedom.

Although Yankee vs Dixie results seems to only consider longitude, whereas it could be a better tool if it considered latitude issues too since speech patterns certainly do.

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."



I was born in Cali but haven't lived there since I was five. I was a military brat.

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: Philadelphia
 

Your accent is as Philadelphian as a cheesesteak! If you're not from Philadelphia, then you're from someplace near there like south Jersey, Baltimore, or Wilmington. if you've ever journeyed to some far off place where people don't know that Philly has an accent, someone may have thought you talked a little weird even though they didn't have a clue what accent it was they heard.

Interesting, it called Northeast for me. I've lived in NC all my life, but both of my parents are from North Jersey, so...

Then again, a lot of folks have a hard time placing my accent, or say I don't have much of one. I do have an interesting mix of southern phrases with the occasional "Jersey a" or other northeastern pronunciation oddities...

one time i was driving through cheraw, sc, and i stopped to get some gas and a powerball ticket (before the lottery). as she's printing my ticket, the girl (couldn't have been over 20) looks up and says with an i-still-use-an-outhouse accent, "you ain't from 'round here, are yeh?" it was like some shit straight out of deliverance. all i could do was smile and say, "no, no i'm not"

Haha, it said I was like 95% midland and less than 50% everything else in terms of a match.

I imagine that's correct. I grew up in Cary and my parents didn't have an accent. Hard to have one if you're never exposed to one.
