Accent quiz

Re: Accent quiz

  • Weird: 96% The West, which is funny because i haven't been west of Chicago since I was 5.

  • I'm 86% North Central, AKA a Minnesota accent.  I'm from MN, I promise you I don't ever say, "Ya betcha."

    Judging by how you talk you are probably from north Jersey, New York City, Connecticut or Rhode Island. Chances are, if you are f

  • Midland. Odd, since I've lived in NY my whole life, but then again, I think the upstate NY dialect has more in common with PA and Ohio than with the stereotypical NY accent anyway. 

    Now here's the real question: what do you call a carbonated

  • Your Result: The West 96% 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 or on
