What American accent do you have?

Evo

I scored - Western

Like Midland, Western is a default, neutral, sounds-good-on-the-evening-news accent. So you might not actually be from the West (but you probably are).

What people call the "Minnesota accent." Sounds almost Canadian. You may have even been asked if you were from Canada before.

What a WRONG quiz. Im dont talk at all like a Candian, eh.

I've heard the Minnesota accent, and I dont talk like that. Quiz BAD.

What American accent do you have? (Best version so far)

My Results:

Northeastern

This could either mean an r-less NYC or Providence accent or one from Jersey which doesn't sound the same. (People in Jersey don't call their state "Joisey" in real life)

I'm British, and thus don't know if this is even close to correct.

I'm not american, but from an "eastern" country.

Hah, it's way off. It thinks I have a Southern accent! But I'm from Michigan, I don't sound like those people from Ohio and Indiana!

(Okay, okay, it called it "midland", but I figure if Ohioans are allowed to say I have a northern accent...

)

Lisa!

Midland

("Midland" is not necessarily the same thing as "Midwest") The default, lowest-common-denominator American accent that newscasters try to imitate. Since it's a neutral accent, just because you have a Midland accent doesn't mean you're from the Midland.

Impressive...the map includes where I live.

That's good; Yanks are from the Northeastern U.S.
