American Accent.

[Rubin0]

What kind of American Accent do you have? I know not everyone is American here, but I thought this was fun.

[OrganisM]

Western, but if I move to Pittsburgh like I'm considering doing sometime in the future, it will change quickly.

I already don't say soda anymore, I'm saying pop, and before I know it, I'll be asking if yinz goin dahntahn.

[FontSize72LOL]

It kinda got mine right, it gave some of the mid states for me, it was neutral.

[.:.nathan.:.]

I was neutral i'm guessing because i'm canadian, but whats that all aboot.

[OrganisM]

Canada, eh?

[skishmonkey72]

I thought I had a normal Canadian accent, but apparently not. I visited in the states, and they told me my accent (and other British Columbians) was as close to the British accent you can get, other than New Zealanders. The Australians exaggerate the accent too much to sound British. I myself don't entirely believe my accent is that close to being British, but I guess it's because people can't really notice their own accent.

A side thought: After a certain age, people's accents get more "fixed", so to speak. I think it would be cool to move somewhere else around then, get an accent, and move back after a year or two and have that accent for the rest of my life. Accents are cool.

P.S. According to the quiz, I have a Canadian accent. It actually got it right. I also had a British friend take the quiz and he got Western.

Northern

You have a Northern accent. That could either be the Chicago/Detroit/Cleveland/Buffalo accent (easily recognizable) or the Western New England accent that news networks go for.

which makes sense because I live in Connecticut.

[Babyvpr]

I'm neutral. Some of my friends say I have somewhat of an "asian" accent. The funny thing is i'm not even asian.

[TD_m0nster]

i hvae a polar bear accent

[ledwix]

My result was: Western!

makes sense, i lived somewhere in the west for 2.5 + 5.5 + 1 + 2 out of 17 years. i first lived in the south, though.

[JoyaOscura]

My accent was stated to be neutral. The things is that I live in New England. Maybe it's because I grew up in a bilingual household. The accent I have in Spanish doesn't exist when I'm talking in English.

[PinoySkillz]

I got neutral thank goodness! xD
Ever since I moved New England when I was 7 I've tried not to acquire the accent. They don't like the letter "R" here.

"Go pahk the cah."

ew.

[foilman8805]

Yeah, uhh...I took that quiz and it said I have a 'North Central' accent and that I may have been asked if I was Canadian before.

I was born and raised in Southern California. I don't think this is the case.

Northeastern

This could either mean an r-less NYC or Providence accent or one from Jersey which doesn't sound the same. Just because you got this result doesn't mean you don't pronounce R's.(People in Jersey don't call their state "Joisey" in real life)


It got me right on the nose. Born and raised in NY. :D

Neutral

You're not Northern, Southern, or Western, you're just plain -American-. Your national identity is more important than your local identity, because you don't really have a local identity. You might be from the region in that map, which is defined by this kind of accent, but you could easily not be. Or maybe you just moved around a lot growing up.

[bluguerrilla]

I got neutral, but that's just because they didn't ask if I end any or all of my sentences with "hon".

[Ice wolf]

I got western. Too bad I live in Tennessee.

[Relambrien]

I got Northern.

My mother's from Michigan, but I've lived in NJ and DE all my live. So I wonder...

[lord_carbo]

Neutral

I actually articulate and speak proper American yeah bitch I speak American

[-Fallen-]

Says I'm Neutral, just plain American! Well, I don't know about that but I guess fitting in the USA wouldn't be hard then if I speak nearly the same way.

[SysRq]

Eh, western. I thought the Texan blood in me would have thrown it off. Good thing it didn't ask about whether I drink soda, pop, or Coke.

~SysRq

[jellygod]

northern accent, i live in michigan :P

People from outside North America probably think you're from the States, but over here we wouldn't make such a mistake.

DAMMIT I HAVE BEEN DETECTED

Western

Western is kind of neutral, but not quite since it's still possible to tell where you're from. So you might not actually be from the West (but you probably are). If you really want to sound "neutral," learn how to say "stock" and "stalk" differently.

Heh. I lived in Utah the longest out of any other place.

[~HentaiXXX~]

Western, yet I have lived in Nebraska all my life, and was born in Bryan, Texas.

[09876]

I apparently have a neutral accent.

[plasmix]

Neutral

Been living in Texas for 10 yearsw

[DivynE]

Western lol

[6 p01nt3d*st@r]

Neutral

[SnS]

Romanian, heh.

[Pyroshock]

Neutral.

Lived my life half in Colorado half in Texas...

[FRO]

Neutral.

Pretty accurate considering that I have lived in the east and west coast of Canada and America.

funny because i've moved from maine to england to washington to oregon. so i'd say neutral is pretty fitting.

[jewpinthethird]

Western. Makes sense.

[fastfingers65]

West coast accent.

Its not water, its warter.

[madmatt621]

Neutral

Been living in Texas for 10 yearsw
12 years for me. Florida native.

[vashthestampede0987]

Neutral...I've been living in Michigan for 12+ years now...O_o. I really don't have a distinguishable accent when I normally talk but I've adapted to them all lol

[Kekeb]

I'm Canadian(did the quiz for fun) and sure enough ;).
North Central

What people call the "Minnesota accent." Sounds almost Canadian. You may have even been asked if you were from Canada before.
http://www.youthink.com/quiz_images/full_274031330.jpg

[Tix]

Lawls. I got the Canadian accent.
Not from the maritimes though. =\

[Kekeb]

Lawls. I got the Canadian accent.

Seems to be two main accents in Canada. Maybe 3 if you count out west.

[Engler]

Evidently I have a Western accent (which is almost identical to neutral), yet I live in New York.

How am I not neutral? Is it that I say pasta (pawsta)? Or is it that I pronounce roof exactly like one would pronounce the o's in food? I'm perplexed.

[irishknight]

I have neutral. I have moved once. I just don't live in those city areas where you know where people would talk like that. I just lived in small towns.

Even though this is somewhat irrelevant, I wonder if Canada calls a parking lot a "car park" like the U.K. does.

[Tix]

No. Lol. It's called a parking lot. xD

EDIT: I was actually wondering earlier this morning how the hell we developed an American accent.
I mean, we supposedly came from the British. And then we somehow lost out British accent and developed an American one? =\

[abbiemonGoesRaWr]

meh, My quiz result (http://www.youthink.com/quiz.asp?action=take&quiz_id=9827) lol.

[eastsideman09]

i got neutral, but i live in the south....


when i lived in rhode island, though, i kept hearing from people that i had an accent..... at the time, i kept thinking "wtf no you people sound like new yorkers stfu"

eventually, i realized that i was the only one who sounded different from them... lol

[Orange Dude]

Nuetral, but I live in Oregon. Hmmm?

[abbiemonGoesRaWr]

Yeah I got the neutral one too and I live in California

[Tps222]

I'm pretty much as neutral as it gets, even though I live in NY.

Hey guys guess what, NY exists outside NYC, and we're nothing alike!

[Specforces]

Western

I lived in the west for the last 4 years.

[esupin]

I say "wicked", and from Massachusetts, got a western accent on test...

[ieatyourlvllol]

I was deemed neutral, although I live in southern Louisiana. That sure is an accurate quiz, there. ô_ô

[dore]

I got Western.

I live in North Carolina. I guess that's why New Yorkers say I have a southern accent and southerners say I have a Yankee accent?

[fluffygdog95]

North Central. Quiz was dead on for me. I am about a 15 minute walk from Duluth, MN. North Central is the "Minnesota accent" so it is right. Wisconsin FTW.

[goat6707]

western... almost neutral :D

i love being hispanic and not having that dreadful heavy accent :P

[bmah]

Apparently I have a North-Central "Minnesota" accent. In reality though, I'm probably....um, well I'm not sure. I say things like "pop" but I pronounce "z" as in "zee". A mix I guess.

[TS_SonicMaster]

I got Northern, and it's dead on, I'm so vulnerable down south xD

[SammyWinchester]

I apparently have a south Texan accent.

[Nyokou]

funny because i've moved from maine to england to washington to oregon. so i'd say neutral is pretty fitting.

I've lived in Mexico, Utah, Virginia, and Florida.. and I still have a Western accent.

:/

I don't really think that the place you live effects your accent.. really. >_>

Gee, you sure told him. (Y)

[Silent_Hobbes]

I got neutral. I'm guessing because I have been around Georgia for a while and then in Tennessee. I have been in Maryland for six years now so I think I have picked up some of the Baltimore accent as well. Then again I have no idea what my accent is like...

[lxDestinyxl]

Northeastern.
Pssh, I'm not American.

[inflames07]

Northern. I live 20-30 minutes south of chicago so it's dead on.

[Cenright]

Yep, I am neutral. I pretty much knew that I didn't have an accent. I pronounce words with dictionary accuracy.

[CAFK]

http://www.youthink.com/quiz_images/full_428371978.jpg

Neutral. Funny thing is, I've never lived in any of those states. :/ Mostly southern states and overseas.

[DRangedTeddyBear]

Neutral, lol.

[fido123]

I'm Canadian and live on that little peninsula thing near the great lakes...we're neutral but if you go out east to Quebec they all have French Canadian accents...Luther out east there are newfies which have the stereotypical accent. As far as my knowledge goes everything west and north of me is neutral.
