I got Western, but that's a off by about a thousand miles. As the quiz creator commented, it won't tell you if you have a Pittsburgh accent.

Did j'yinz take 'at quiz n'at? :wink:

Just saw this in another post:

It's spot on! That's how we talk.

gads.

It said, correctly, that I have a Canadian accent.
But it added: "People from outside North America probably think you`re from the States, but over here we wouldn't make such a mistake."
Wrong. When I'm in the States, I'm asked all the time which state I'm from.

Neutral, as expected, from Ohio.

Within Ohio's borders, though, there are several accents. Most notably to the south.

But I'm sure this is the case with many states.

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.


It got mine. Between birth and high school graduation I lived in seven different states (It's up to eleven now).

Neutral for me too, eh? I had a feeling that might be the case. Though I have lived all my life in the South surrounded by strong accents, I seem to have never absorbed it...
