What American accent do you have?

<p>Gangster/Deep Southern.</p>

<p>It’s hilarious.</p>

<p>North Central… my family is Canadian :D</p>

<p>I got 92% Western, 88% North Central, and 85% Midland. Western is a neutral accent, so I’d say it’s pretty accurate.</p>

<p>I got Northern and I live in California.</p>

<p>Mine’s midland. It makes sense because I’m from a part of the country that produces a lot of newscasters because we have such neutral accents.</p>

<p>Northeastern for me. I live in New York, Long Island to be exact, so I’m not very surprised.</p>

<p>None discernable to me. Probably northern californian though.</p>

<p>Midland and Southern, not very suprised since those are the only 2 places i’ve ever lived lol</p>

<p>long island accent…every time i leave ny people notice/comment it lol</p>

<p>@RoseOak Maybe the British living in the US, but I’ve read quite a few books on the development on spoken English and they’ve all looked at the influences that changed American speech, I don’t think they were very similar. It’s hard to know for sure, because past voice recording (about 100 years ago?) I guess we only have people’s comments on accents :slight_smile: </p>

<p>I have a very traditional, posh, South Eastern (British oc) accent. Not queen’s/old BBC English as such, more like this guy: [TWILIGHT</a> FORCED UPON ME - YouTube](<a href=“TWILIGHT FORCED UPON ME - YouTube”>TWILIGHT FORCED UPON ME - YouTube)</p>

<p>I got a 100% mid-Atlantic haha. I figured it would be a mix of different accents, but it says I do have the Philly/Baltimore accent.</p>

<p>Minnesotan, which makes some sense considering I live in Minnesota.</p>

<p>Midland. I’m from South Florida, and yeah, everyone here is pretty neutral, if not Hispanic or Caribbean. Northern Florida has some Southern accents though.</p>

<p>latin/spanish</p>

<p>I got Mid-Atlantic with Midland as a close second. Very accurate as I’m thoroughly in the Baltimore-Philly-S.NJ region BUT I’m more neutral than anything else. I am kinda surprised that it describes it as a “Philly” accent because to me, that says “vurry” for “very” (see: Harry Kalas or Merrill Reese).</p>

<p>@shabang and tennis625 oh yay 2 others on this forum from lawn guyland!! XD</p>

<p>Mid-Atlantic / Philadelphia. Yep.</p>

<p>Midland - NY’er here</p>

<p>It doesn’t work for me…I have an odd accent that doesn’t fit into the categories…Slight Southern twinge to it but not full blown…Though I can slip into a full blown Southern accent if I’m talking for extended periods of time and say a trigger word…</p>

<p>It told me Midlands but my friend has a Midlands accent and she says I have a Southern twinge to my voice that makes it a decidedly different accent from hers…</p>

<p>^^^^^^^Both my grandparents, who are from Miami in the very early days (born in early 30s) have strong southern accents. No idea why.</p>

<p>I’m from South Florida and I got Midland.</p>
