What's My Accent?

What American accent do you have? Your Result: The Northeast Judging by how you talk you are probably from north Jersey, New York City, Connecticut or Rhode Island. Chances are, if you are from New York City (and not those other places) people would probably be able to tell if they actually heard you speak.

The Inland North
The Midland

Big shock here. (And *none* of those words sound even vaguely alike.)

I got equal parts Philadelphia and Inland North, which given that I grew up in Cleveland with parents from Rocklyn County and waaay upstate is probably about right (although the real litmus tests for Philly, in my experience, are the pronunciation of "water" -- I've never said "wutter" in my life -- and the question of whether directional phrases have prepositions to go with their adverbs, that is, whether you say "down the shore" or "down to (or at) the shore" like the rest of us [g]).
