My accent

Smurfed from Jo’s Cafe:

What American accent do you have?

Southern. Love it or hate it, your accent says you’re probably from somewhere south of the Ohio River.

Take this quiz now – it’s easy!
We’re going to start with "cot" and "caught." When you say those words do they sound the same or different?

    my score’s a bit unexpected i must say, i’ve been told my accent most resembles a New Yorker, but the test disagrees…..

    Midland. The Midland (please don’t confuse with “Midwest”) itself is the neutral zone between the North and South. But just because you have a Midland accent doesn’t mean you’re from there. Since it is considered a neutral, default, “non-regional” accent you could easily be from someplace without its own accent, like Florida, or a big city in the South like Dallas, Houston, or Atlanta.

    i have a tendency to mix American english with UK english though, which makes my accent very confusing for Americans and Englishmen alike.
