Accent Quiz

Here’s an interesting, 16-question quiz to determine what American accent you have. I apparently have a “Midland” accent and could have been a newscaster (or played one on TV!) Hmmm… I was born in Ohio and married a Chicago girl. Could either have affected my results? Not necessarily? Give it a try and discover your own accent!

What American accent do you have? (Best version so far)

Midland

(“Midland” is not necessarily the same thing as “Midwest”) The default, lowest-common-denominator American accent that newscasters try to imitate. Since it’s a neutral accent, just because you have a Midland accent doesn’t mean you’re from the Midland.

Seems like I am a Canadian, eh? Pretty smart quiz.

Are you?

Yes, I am Canadian-American. I have lived in the States since I was 11.

Well, I'm betting you and your family immigrated through the "front door" so that makes you a fellow American, my brother.

I'm from Macon, Georgia an I have a Georgia accent. But the test says I have a midland accent. That is impossible. I ain't no midlander.
