What American accent do you have?Your Result: The South85%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.
considering I live in North Carolina, I expected this. But other southerners tell me I don’t south souther (ie, my momma) but northerners (yankees, okay, y’all know that) tell me I do. I’m so conflicted xD

”North Central” is what professional linguists call the Minnesota accent. If you saw “Fargo” you probably didn’t think the characters sounded very out of the ordinary. Outsiders probably mistake you for a Canadian a lot.
…which considering I am Canadian would be accurate.
What American accent do you really have?Your Result: Northern91%Your accent is Northern, which used to be the media standard in the ’50s and ’60s. Your accent could either be Inland Northern (Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo) or the more broadcasting-friendly Upstate NY/Western New England accent. If you have the Inland North accent, outsiders probably ask you a lot if you’re from Chicago or Wisconsin.
Well, I have lived most of my life withing spitting distance of Lake Erie. Although I know for a fact I have some slight traces of my father’s Southern Ohio accent.

COULD BE BECAUSE I’M CANADIAN XD And by “Canadian” they probably mean “Southern Ontarian.”
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.
PAHAHAHA well alright then, good. And yes people not from around here think we are New Yorkers and we are affronted

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.”

I’ve never been asked if I’m from Wisconsin or Chicago, actually. But yes, my carbonated drink is “pop.”
When I was in Australia I was legit mistaken for Canadian plenty of times, though.* I’m guessing it’s because I grew up less than an hour from Windsor.
* No it’s not just people guessing I’m Canadian to be polite. There were plenty of people who did that, but there were also plenty of others who really thought I was Canadian.
Your Result: The Midland 85%“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.Doesn’t really surprise me. I’ve been pretty much told this before. 🙂

The South got runner up with 81%, which is not too surprising given I’ve only ever lived in Alabama and Mississippi.
