Southern Redneck.

It's just like in the word "whore."

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.

Philly accent second, makes sense since I've lived in PA almost 3 decades since moving from MD.

No real accent is accurate because I like to pronounce everything properly, intentionally.

Good voice for radio? Yep, I have been the voice of a phone system before (recorded the greeting/menu system/options for my company once).

Funny I was also Inland North. I did spend two week in Chicago in 1994 so maybe thats why. LOL

Same here. I've lived in Murrland, from All-neey, to Sal's-Bury, to Bahlmur. If anything I think that when I've had too much to drink or not enough sleep I drag out my Os or add Ws to them. But I definitely have never had someone tell me I sound like I'm from Chicago or Wisconsin.

Thankfully, Boston was at the bottom of my list. I think that could be THE WORST accent in the nation, almost the world...down there with the French phlegm-speak.

Also, ever notice how many British women sound great when they speak, but the British men sound annoying? I even had a British woman voice on my GPS for a while, until she started mispronouncing too many street names.

Lots of the Philly thing going on, that's where it put me too. Midland was second. I grew up in MD, in Mont. County.

[BuckSkin]

Inland north for me too? I'm from Appalachia, pure bred hill jack. I've lived all across the country except the great white north.

[KLHJ2]

The south, but I swear that I do not have a southern accent or any accent at all.

Everyone has an accent Angry. What you deem as "no accent" is viewed as an accent from another perspective.

It was kind of a play on this hooskins. I am not that naive.

Your Result: The South


That's a Southern accent you've got there. You may love it, you may hate it, you may swear you don't have it, but whatever the case, we can hear it.

Regardless of what this says I do not have that deep of a southern accent. I just annunciate American English.

Your Result: The Midland

Philly, The Inland North and the South were all pretty close as well.

I think mines was accurate. I lived my first 7 years in DC but then moved to Chicago before I turned 8 so it's no surprise that my accent, or lack thereof, could be traced back to the Midwest seeing as how during ages 8 to 13 your voice is still developing. I actually had a 6 year old cousin that lived in England for two years, had a British accent, and then lost it when he came back to the states.

I dont have an accent but all you ridgerunners that live south of Dayton do.
