What American accent do you have?
Created by Xavier on Memegen.net

Northeastern.
You're probably from somewhere near New York City, possibly north Jersey, or Connecticut or Rhode Island. If you are from New York City you may be one of the types who people never believe when you say you're from New York.

If you are not from here, you are probably one of the following:
(a) A Philadelphian who can't stand the way other Philadelphians say "on";
(b) A Yat from New Orleans; or
(c) Someone from England, Australia, or New Zealand, in which case why are you doing this quiz in the first place?

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?

Same Same, no wait I mean different, maybe, a little bit different... Different

I'm from 29 miles north of Manhattan, my mom's from Connecticut and my dad's from da Bronx. I think this all shakes down fairly reasonably.

Also, if you haven't, and if it's not too late, go grab a kink_bingo card. Write your own fics or assign them to your friends and lovers! I'm working on an S&A five part thing, with, if I'm lucky, a Torchwood five-part thing to follow.

Fascinating. I always think my accent is so neutral, it doesn't say anything about me. But this quiz got me right: Western, more specifically, "Someone from Canada (probably southern Ontario) who doesn't have a Canadian accent." Everything except the Ontario part.

I'm Southern and the accent quiz pegs me accurately, although "south of the Ohio river," while accurate, is not all that specific. I wonder if a stronger deep South accent would have pulled up any more specific a description. Maybe I'll go back and say "Yes, I always sounds like ah!"

It pegged me as Southern, which... I technically am, but I didn't realize I had that much of an accent!

Huh. Told me I was Southern, which - no, sorry, not remotely.

If southern Ontario/Great Lakes/Midwest was an option, I should've gotten that.

So apparently I overanalyzed the questions.

Wow...I got the exact same answer you got, and I'm from Manhattan.

Well, I was born in Manhattan and my whole family's from NY and surroundings, so I think I have a thicker accent than most suburbanites. And my dad is unquestionably from the Bronx, so I def picked up some of his.

Western or (and this is the part that's true) "Someone from the Heartland born after 1980". STOP KNOWING ME, QUIZ.
