    Default rate yo accent

    What American accent do you have? (Best version so far)

    My Results:





    Midland

    ("Midland" is not necessarily the same thing as "Midwest") The default, lowest-common-denominator American accent that newscasters try to imitate. Since it's a neutral accent, just because you have a Midland accent doesn't mean you're from the Midland.

    My Results:





    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.

    I'm a brit and I got "Northeastern" as a result.

    The fact that apparently your dictionaries still use this accent means there is still some hope for you!!
    Blah blah Op Blah blah

    What American accent do you have? (Best version so far)

    My Results:





    North Central

    What people call the "Minnesota accent." Sounds almost Canadian. You may have even been asked if you were from Canada before.

    Yeah, got me!

    The reason, I believe, it lists you brits and aussies as a northeastern accent is because of the Bostonian flat vowels, etc. Probably the closest accent to british you will find.

    Okay, I suppose I'm a mutt. I grew up in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Moved to Chicago when I was 13. Moved to LA after college and I now live back in Tulsa.

    I have a weird combination of accents. Sorta like, "Dude. Are y'all really gonna order that freakin NY pizza stuff? Ya gotta do the Ginos pizza or nuttin." I didn't even know I had an accent until I moved to Chicago. Then I lost it realllllly quick.

    What American accent do you have? (Best version so far)

    My Results:





    Mid Atlantic

    Also known as a "Philadelphia accent" but also heard in south Jersey, Baltimore, and thereabouts.

    LOL I always wanted to go to Philly, have me some cheese steak and run up the stairs like Rocky. The Orioles suck, though.
    I'm probably the only one of these around here..
    My dream... is to fly... over the rainbow... so high...

    Tulsa FTW, yo!

    Western, which is described as almost-but-not-quite neutral.

    What American accent do you have? (Best version so far)
    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.

    What American accent do you have? (Best version so far)

    Southern

    People used to hate Southern accents but now everyone wants one.

    I got Western too
    "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."

    At least it knows where I am!

    And why would I want to learn to pronounce two words differently when they are pronounced just the same?!?
