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. Result Breakdown: 100% Philadelphia 85% The Northeast 80% The Midland 73% The South 70% The Inland North 38% Boston 18% The West 2% North Central Quiz Created on GoTo Quiz

A good question for that quiz would be:
"Does your pronunciation of the word 'on' rhyme with 'Ron', or 'zone'?

I've been told I speak with an accent. I'm sure they weren't talking about my "American accent."
 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. |
