Philadelphia for me, and it got it right.

AD720 · 03-01-2010, 02:08 PM

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.
Result Breakdown:
100% Philadelphia
90% The Midland
78% The Inland North
77% The South
76% The Northeast
31% Boston
25% The West
8% North Central

"Last question. When you say "bag" does it rhyme with "vague"?"

W(ho)TF talks like that? How do those two words rhyme?

Some of my family will say bag and beg like "baig". Same with leg, "laig".

Said I was midland or don't have an accent and that "You have a good voice for TV and radio". I was in radio for 13 years, go figure. I always tried to speak "proper" english and not like most around here. Born and bred in western NC.

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."

Nailed my accent.

When you say Wisconsin, you've said it all

neoflex · 03-01-2010, 02:11 PM

It got me. It said Northeast "udging by how you talk you are probably from north Jersey, New York City, Connecticut or Rhode Island. Chances are, if you are from New York City (and not those other places) people would probably be able to tell if they actually heard you speak." Born and raised on Long Island so I would say it got me.

Blueface · 03-01-2010, 06:00 PM

Inland North.
Way off.
Heck, I am from Jesey!

hotreds · 03-01-2010, 07:42 PM

Bawston. Hmmmm......

03-01-2010, 02:44 PM

Wow I'm impressed it got me too Philly accent

03-01-2010, 02:45 PM

It called me Midland or no accent. I think some of the questions are geared to non-US english speakers.

croatan · 03-01-2010, 03:00 PM

Midland/no accent. Pretty much right being from Phoenix, but I really do like using "y'all"

VirtualSmitty · 03-01-2010, 03:04 PM

It was spot on

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Northeast

Judging by how you talk you are probably from north Jersey, New York City, Connecticut or Rhode Island. Chances are, if you are from New York City (and not those other places) people would probably be able to tell if they actually heard you speak.

SNKBYT · 03-01-2010, 03:25 PM

Your Result: The Midland

................till I was 18 it was Boston area

ucla695 · 03-01-2010, 03:26 PM

The Inland North

Sauer Grapes · 03-01-2010, 07:33 PM

"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.
