Arátoeldar Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Midland - Neutral Which makes sense since I grew up as a military brat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negative Sun Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I'm Belgian, I live in Scotland, and apparently, my accent is: Your Result: The South 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. Go figure... PS: Liking my post count, so I'll shut up for tonight and go play some JO since I feel like some g_saberrealisticcombat action Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedHawke Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Told me I was from Boston! (I can't even imitiate the way a Bostonian talks!) I have no accent, and the person who made this test has failed for the last time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caius Fett Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Told me I have a Philly accent wich is funny considering I'm from Maine and should have more of a northeastern accent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucied Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 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. haha makes sense im from pittsburgh and we have our own words >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinkle Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I scored full-on for a Philadelphia accent. See...although I'm *from* Philadelphia, I've always been roundly rejected as having a "Philadelphia" accent...I'm more accentless than anything; I think I may just enunciate more than other people. And one key question was conspicuously absent in the determination of the Philly accent: Do you pronunce "water" as "wah-ter" or "wooder" (The keynote of the Philly accent is the latter =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uilleand Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 "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." That's frickin' hilarious, cuz I *am* Canadian. And yet...I still thought the folks in Fargo sounded hella weird... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True_Avery Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Pretty neutral, but more midland than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Char Ell Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 96% - The West 90% - The Midland 50% - Boston 46% - North Central 38% - The South 4% - The Inland North Works for me. I moved around a lot in my childhood and teenage years but all within the southwestern U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meowster Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 I got midland myself, which I guess is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Char Ell Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 That's 324 percent... That is correct, sir. You'll have to take up what I assume is your concern with a result >100% with the creator of the poll though as those are indeed the results I received.

Q Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Pretty much Midland here. Ever since I moved to Virginia people have told me that I sound like a news anchorman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavroche Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Interesting test... as far as I'm concerned, since I'm French. You're right Stoffe, I got the North-Eastern too. A friend got the Southern, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Galt Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 I got West, which is kinda ironic. I'm from Eastern Kentucky, and I've never been farther west than Cape Girardeau, MO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serpentine Cougar Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 I got the same exact score as Jae... And I didn't do the second quiz. I've heard people saying "wooder" and my grandparents (midwesterners all of them) always say "warsh," but I don't.... I'm still the only Philly boi in this crowd. I feel so lonely... Well I was born in Philly-town... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
