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. This test was simple to do, and quite fun. I AM from the midwest, and I don't have an accent. 100% accurate in identifying the geographic region where I was raised!

Lol Glenn, I'm still laughing. Guess Cajun doesn't quite fit into Southern accents.

my result: the West It said that people wouldn't detect any accent in my speech. Lol! I don't think it was accurate in my case, although my Maine accent isn't as pronounced as some.

Inland North. I blame it on Mocha's Catholic school education.

Mine said Midland. I lived in FL all my life. I've been told by most people that I don't have an accent but my ex-inlaws thought I had a very pronounced southern accent. They were from Brooklyn.

Aren't Cajuns originally from Nova Scotia or somewhere up there in far east Canada? I blame it on Mocha's Catholic school education. This is interesting as can be. Incidentally, I had one question I went back on forth on, whether to answer the same or almost the same but marginally different. I got the same result both ways.

My results: 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. Very funny....because I AM Canadian! LOL. Just took the test for some fun.

My results: The West Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta.

My result: Philadelphia Your accent is as Philadelphian as 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 that you talked a little weird even though they didn't have a clue what accent it was they heard. And I'm Canadian.

You have a good voice for TV and radio. Ha! The answer is correct, but not from those places. That would be a Michigan, Oregon, California, South Carolina, Georgia and Texas accent that skewed up this test! My southern accent only comes out after I've been conversing with one of my sisters or my best friend in Georgia! It did it to you too, LadyTex! LOL

It says I'm a Midlander too! Hmmm....some people say Colorado is part of the West, and some say its part of the Midwest. So now I guess I'm a Midlander now too!

Northeast 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.

The Inland North 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."
