What's your American accent?

[ara87]

Take the quiz even if your not American, it'll be fun to see where it places you. I got "Midland" accent, which is basically no accent.

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.

I would prefer a more comprehensive test. Cause I don't think Turkish accent sounds as midland accent. Anyway, what's a charleston? (never heard of it)

I wasn't sure about the fill vs feel and pen vs pin... I think they sound different, but I could also say they're close. If I said they are different it told me Boston.

If I said they're both different, but close it said West which would be the more accurate result.

I'm not impressed w/ this quiz.

I didn't like number 8. I say "merry" different from "Mary," and "marry" which i say the same, and there wasn't an option for that

Yeah, I noticed that too, so I was forced to say they're the same.

I said different but close for pen/pin, and got midland. What i wantt to know is where does "bag" and "vague" actually rhyme?

I remember a Scottish friend of mine talking about his "bag" while I was understanding it as "bike". So maybe in Scotland? : )

When I speak with people especially teachers they most of the time notice that English is not my native language (while I speak Armenian at home as well).
