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

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

If you're not from the South, you probably were overanalyzing the questions. Take the quiz again but don't think so hard next time.

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?

I got:
Northern. Whether you have the world famous Inland North accent of the Great Lakes area, or the radio-friendly sound of upstate NY and western New England, your accent is what used to set the standard for American English pronunciation (not much anymore now that the Inland North sounds like it does).

I'm fron Chicago so... yeah!

Mine says "northern," even though I was born and raised in Alabama. However, I was allowed to watch FAR too much television as a child, and I think this made a big difference. Also, I sang in a lot of choirs, and I think that also made a big diff. When I go home for Christmas, I usually slide back into the local speech pattern, because my mom (who needs a hearing aid, though she won't admit it), says I talk too fast, and she can't understand me. Damn, I'm such a freakin' good daughter!

Ha! My accent gets stronger when I'm pissed off, drunk, or overly emotional :)

Oh, well, I solve that problem by never getting pissed off, drunk, or overly emotional. So what if it makes me seem like Arnold in the Terminator? ;D
