What American accent do you have?

This quiz was posted on the BNB. I thought it would be fun to do it here too. I think it might be cool for Bumpies not from the US as well, to see if you have any similarities in your accent.

I got 100% The Inland North.

Followed by 80% The Midlands and 76% The Northeast.

I got 77 percent Philadelphia. Makes sense since I'm from south Jersey. I always try to tell people I have a Philly accent, not New York/North Jersey.

Grins04 · March 2013

85% North Central, followed by 84% The West.

I live right outside Pittsburgh.

CRey13 · March 2013

96 the west.
Which makes sense since I was born, raised, and live in so cal.

mmdailey · March 2013

96 percent The West. Makes sense, since I'm in California.

LindsayDesigner · March 2013

81 percent inland north followed by northeast.
I figured I would get something besides the west because I don't drawl as much. Somebody once told me that Utahns sound like watered down southerners.

I got 95 percent Midland!

Weird. Because I have a heavy Southern accent...

Andreabks · March 2013

88% the West

85% Midland

44% Boston next

Not a surprise to me really. Grew up in WA, couple years in SoCal and now live in NorCal. My older sister moved to Texas for a while and her diction teacher used her "flat" accent t

lady_tytah · March 2013

Midland, which makes sense since I spent majority of my life there.

CLeigh03 · March 2013

90 percent inland north!

PaisleyRuth · March 2013

I got 100% The Midland, followed by 88% The South. Sounds about right, for someone who has lived in NC her whole life, but with parents/family with roots in Ohio, Maryland, New York, etc.

Your Result: North Central 89%"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. <

85% Inland North...which made me laugh because one of the statements says....when you step away from the Great Lakes you are asked "are you from Wisconsin?"

Why, yes, as a matter of fact I am Guess they got it right!

ks3pink · March 2013

I got south which is completely correct!

twoitalians · March 2013

95% The Midland

80% The West

First I was like "what the..!!!" Then I was like, well that makes sense, my parents grew up in Illinois. So, Zonie raised by Midwesterners. I'll take it.

CourtneyEPillar:
100 percent The West. Makes sense seeing as how I'm from Oregon and live in Washington. The description says: <br

The "dawn" vs. "don" question makes me laugh. Where I live, they are very different...however, my best friend's name is Dawn and when we go on vacation everyone always thinks her name is Don. Hahahahah

CrazyDaisy8 · March 2013

I am 80 North Central.

shakinros · March 2013

100 percent midland! Which I thought was totally weird until I read down to "or you're from one of the big southern cities like Atlanta." Guilty as charged.

abbyful · March 2013

95% The Midland

Born and raised in Kansas, now live in Missouri (just barely, I'm in Kansas City).

I have a "Ghetto Gone Proper" accent. Meaning... I grew up hoodie (south side), and then went all academic and proper. It works out well in my line of work (Im an investigator) some days I need to throw a little neck roll slang...
