No surprise here
Friday, December 21, 2007 at 06:56AM | 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. | |

Hahah!
"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.
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.
Yep, No surprises for me either. I came out totally west....
I just did mine--no real surprise to me, but maybe a big surprise to others! This was fun! :-)
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.
Wow! And I thought I did a really bad New York accent. Seems like my Aussie tongue would blend right in. I AM surprised and a little confused. :)
and to think..I could be mistaken for a canadian. Go figure that eh? :) So...any plans to be on Television in the near future? :)
