Where are you from......by accent????

The inland north here. :socool

 

[marnold]

I got inland north too, which, from the description, seems to mean "Midwest." Spot on then I suppose.

And Robert, I'm guessing that the site didn't have Swedo-Canadians in mind

It says I can't view that video in my country. Anyway, I'm always amazed at the number of different accents just in the greater London area. Heaven only knows what "Cockney" is, even without the rhyming slang. I've watched enough British T.V. that I don't have an issue with most British accents, but when someone Cockney gets going, I've got no clue...

Cockney rhyming slang? Nah, it's all pony me old china

Inland North??? As a radio announcer I was taught and still try to sound like the mid-Ohio accent that many of the national news anchors use, but after living in a small Kentucky town for many years, a little southern has crept into my speech pattern, but nobody has ever accused me of being from Wisconsin, especially once I say "y'all"!

I got Midlands, which makes sense; I'm in Kansas. I used to have a slight Southern accent, but I've spent too many years in academics now.

Mine was West. Lowest common denominator of speech. Unless a So Cal surfer, no one thinks I have an accent at all. Sounds about right. Except when I am in a dude mood. I mean doooood!

 

[Katastrophe]

I got "The Midlands". That's weird, because I grew up in Texas, and have a pronounced Texas twang. I've been told though that I sound like I have less of an accent when I'm speaking to larger groups.

And in an utterly unsurprising turn of events, my result was as follows...

Your Result: The Northeast

Judging by how you talk you are probably from north Jersey, New York City, Connecticut or Rhode Island. Chances are, if you are from New York City (and not those other places) people would probably be able to tell if they actually heard you speak.

Not at all surprising as I'm sure you, Frankenfretter, and I all spec out the same on our western (non)accents.

"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..."

I did live in Cali for 5 or 6 years as a kid. Have lived in FL for about 38 years.

Was born, however, in Memphis.
