| What American accent do you have? Your Result: Philadelphia 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. | | The Midland | | | The Northeast | | | Boston | | | The South | | | The Inland North | | | The West | | | North Central | | What American accent do you have?

| 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. | | The West | | | Boston | | | North Central | | | The South | | | Philadelphia | | | The Inland North | | | The Northeast | | What American accent do you have?

I've moved around enough to no longer ask for "a glass of wooder".... though "egg" never rhymed with "vague" in my vocabulary.

UPDATE: Sorry to bust in on another's post but this is a particular interest of mine. Pretty impressive that the quiz seems to nail us both. Reckon it's my western accent, but I'd think "The Midlands" is somewhere in England.

I wonder if it would pick up the "Yinzer" Pittsburghese accent.

In my career, I've spoken in front of hundreds of people from all parts of the country and world.
Whenever they asked if I had a 'New Yawk' accent, I simply replied 'People from New York City do not have an accent; EVERYONE else does!'
