You're probably rhotic, most English speakers are.

My result:

"That's a Southern accent you've got there. You may love it, you may hate it, you may swear you don't have it, but whatever the case, we can hear it."

People all my life have marvelled that I have no traditional southern accent, even though I've lived in the South most of my life. Sometimes, people say I drawl words like a Texan though. Contrary to what the image below suggests about my accent, I do not call carbonated beverages "pop."
I do love Chicago though.

for sure motha!

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.

This quiz is starting to reek of BS. I mean, can you really diagnose (haha, we need House) an accent from just 10 questions?

Jennthebenn is kinda both i think, her family is from Kentucky, but she was born in Maryland, sometimes certain words like 'rinse' turns into 'wrench' and such

I'm generally quite standard English if I'm talking to non-Westcountry types, but when speaking to my own I go hyper-rhotic. We have lots of 'r' sounds regardless of whether the has rs or not.

I note, reading on: "In England, rhotic accents are found in the West Country,..."

I should note though that 'West Country' probably doesn't include some boroughs of Bristol, where 'r' sounds are often converted into 'l' sounds. One of the things that constantly fascinates me about English dialects is how, if you're from an area, you can often pin people's upbringing down to within 5 square miles. Or is that just me?

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

Philadelphia

The South

The Midland

Boston

North Central

The West

Interesting that New York accents are one of the pitifully few American accents I can stand to listen to (along with Boston).

[pantophobia]

you can check other quizzes on the US, like how much of a stupid or smart american you are

My mother is Italian and was born in Providence, Rhode Island.

She calls a house a "whoose" and a mouse a "moose."

People here in Virginia have a weird southern accent. It's not as pronounced as further south, but many pronounce words like "about" as "a-boot" like some Canadians would.
