I’ve always been told that I don’t really have an accent (though a southern accent will appear for a word or two once in a blue moon). I guess this proves it. Midland accent, another way of saying I don’t have one! But the predominant one is southern, which makes sense since I’m from North Carolina. 🙂 (Thanks Joe for the link.)
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. |

Mine was the same. But I’m from Pennsylvania … so it makes sense. Or does that sound like since? 🙂
And, yes, I’ve done some radio, but no TV. There’s a reason why they want to keep their ratings high. 🙂

All right! You’re a Hoosier! An honest-to-goodness Hooooooooosier! Congratulations on joining the best club in the United States of America!
Then again, if you had gone to school in Indiana that would most likely have meant that school northwest of IU. The school of which we do not speak except to call them by their initials – P U.
I haven’t taken the test but I’m pretty sure where I’d fall (as would anyone who’s ever heard me speak).

100% Philadelphian. I’ve never lived there. I have lived in UK so perhaps that influenced my test.
