Accent

Occasionally, someone tells me I have the teeniest bit of an accent. It's in the way I say "shoot" and the occasional "ah"ing of my a's. I'm not quite sure where I picked those little quirks of speech up. I do not, however, have a Bostonian accent as this quiz seems to think. I've never even BEEN to Boston. Or New Hampshire or Maine, for that matter.

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: Boston

You definitely have a Boston accent, even if you think you don't. Of course, that doesn't mean you are from the Boston area, you may also be from New Hampshire or Maine.

The West

The Midland

North Central

Huh...I'm pretty boring.

"You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio."

Boring.
