[Mr Janny]

Which American accent do you have?

Northern


You have a Northern accent. That could either be the Chicago/Detroit/Cleveland/Buffalo accent (easily recognizable) or the Western New England accent that news networks go for.


cool quiz.

Which American accent do you have?

North Central

What people call the "Minnesota accent." Sounds almost Canadian. You may have even been asked if you were from Canada before.

 

[cyclonedave25]

I came up with Western.

 

[Al_4_State]

I came up with Western.

Same. Most people I know in Iowa talk like me, too (at least I think). I have some buddies from SW Iowa that have borderline southern accents, and some buddies from far NE Iowa that have thick Minnesota/Wisconsin accents.

 

[Sousaclone]

Neutral for me. I had to stop and actually think about how I said some of those things.

 

[Mr Janny]

Neutral for me. I had to stop and actually think about how I said some of those things.

I went through and did the opposite of what I picked, with the exception of the "about/mouth" question" (which was obviously the Canadian trap question) and came up with neutral.

 

[kkise]

Western accent.

 

[RedBlooded]

neutral.

 

[Agclone91]

Neutral, which works out well because I'm from the portion of southeast iowa in the yellow for neutral.

 

[sunnysideup]

Western here.

 

[LindenCy]

Northern. I'm from Chicago, so it makes sense.

 

[dualthreat]

im neutral. even though my southern iowa friends claim i have a northern iowa/minnesota accent.

(long O) .. like a canadian would say about (aboot)

Western

 

[RustShack]

Neutral 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. I'm from southwest Iowa but live in NE now.

 

[Iastfan112]

Neutral but I used to pronounce Collar and Caller the same and changing my answer there switches it to Western.

Neutral

 

[CyForPresident]

North Central

I heartily disagree. I've got friends from Minnesota and I'm not even close to that accent. Plus I grew in Jones County, not exactly North.

 

[CtownCyclone]

Neutral. Grew up just north of the yellow area, so fairly close.
