What American accent do you have?
Your Result: 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.

The Midland
 
North Central
 
Boston
 
The South

What American accent do you have?
Quiz Created on GoToQuiz

This is my current result from this quiz.

Back on 11/02/2006:

I got a result that said:

"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.



My Response Then:
My Non-Existent Accent is FARGO-ISH!?
Strange, eh? I'm often told I have no accent at all. Maybe that's because I live in the South. Compared to the overbearing accents around me, anything I say as long as it isn't Brooklyn won't stand out. >.< Please tell me that my North Dakotan parents haven't ruined my speech patterns before I ever realized it. I don't sound Canadian! I swear!

My Response Now:

Maybe I just didn't think of the answers to the quiz properly before I answered them...or a year and a half at college has transformed my speech into a more neutral pattern (despite that my campus best friend is a flaming Canadian...)
