What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Inland North

You may think you speak "Standard English straight out of the dictionary" but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like "Are you from Wisconsin?" or "Are you from Chicago?" Chances are you call carbonated drinks "pop."

It fails, ive never been that far up north. I have been to phili tho. But only when i was little. Who the hell calls soda pop?

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.

Oooh so close!

My state was founded by Batman. Your opinion is invalid.

Your Result: The Midland

"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.

I'm from Dallas too.

Your Result: North Central

"North Central" is what professional linguists call the Minnesota accent. If you saw "Fargo" you probably didn't think the characters sounded very out of the ordinary. Outsiders probably mistake you for a Canadian a lot.

Well duh, I am Canadian...

Inland North, which is the Great Lakes area. Sounds right since I grew up in MI. I always called it "pop" as a kid, then came to WI and a bunch of people call it soda. Hmmmm.

Your Result: The West

Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta.

i'm from atlanta

It's funny listening to all the accents of different people from different states on a road trip. I've taken plenty of trips from Texas to Minnesota and back (relatives) and the name for carbonated drinks ranges from soda in the south to soda-pop, tonic water or fountain drink in central US to pop in the north. It's quite funny ordering a soda in Minnesota because of the strange look you get from the waiter.

I'm from Southern California and lived here all my life, so I don't think I have an accent, but I probably talk real fast and blend a lot of words together.

And here are the results to prove it:
