What American accent do you have?Your Result: The Northeast

Heh. Never knew I had an American accent.

It maybe due to the fact that us North Easterners are the closest geographically to England. Who knows?
I wish we had a Scottish member. I wonder were their freaky accents would end up.

Me too.

There is also different accents for Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, and Texas. These accents are different than the rest of the south.

Interesting...they classified me as having a Midlands accent, i.e. no accent, but allowed that I might be from Florida or one of those large southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas.

I've lived in Atlanta for 25 years.
I went to junior high school, high school and university in Florida.
I was born in Mobile, Ala (Gulf Coast natives have accents quite different from the rest of the South).

And I thought the Midlands were in the UK, for Chrissakes.

They think I'm from the Inland North.

Unless you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent.

Well, I am a SoCal surfer and I know I don't have any accent.

Years ago, I was in aan elevator in a Hotel in Newark,NJ.After I spoke a few words, this bloke says to me "don't tell me,but I'm sure I can guess your accent" now I thought, this guy must be good,because yanks normally get confussed with a kiwi accent.Some say Aussie and others say pommie.So then he says "mid-west right?" I had great delight in telling him he was at least 5000 miles out.
