What accent do I have?

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.

Philadelphia

The Inland North

The Midland

Boston

People say that I don't have an accent, but apparently I've still got the NY accent according to this quiz, at least in my head. I think there is a difference between how you hear words when you read them (which was all learned while I lived in NY) and how you actually say them (which has changed over the many states that I've lived in). My friend Jennifer took the quiz and she truly got the result of "no accent". Doug, who always claims that he doesn't have an accent, landed solidly with a Boston accent. I was thrilled that there was now proof that he had an accent, to which he replied that the quiz was just bunk. I just can't win!
