I hate the Bostonian accent. I'm sorry to say. It's just so harsh.

I don't think I've heard bagle said any other way besides "bay-gle"...I didn't realize there were other ways of pronouncing it

You definitely have a Boston accent, even if you think you don't. Of course, that doesn't mean you are from the Boston area, you may also be from New Hampshire or Maine.

The Midland

omg. this is too much. I guess I'll have to represent the South, but I swear I don't talk like a redneck.

Your Result: The South

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.

Well, this works out just fine.

Your Result: North Central

"North Central" is what professional linguists call the Minnesota accent. If you saw "Fargo" you probably didn't think the characters sounded very out of the ordinary. Outsiders probably mistake you for a Canadian a lot.

It says I have the midland accent (which is no accent at all according to the quiz) but we all know that's not true!!

Your Result: The West


Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta.
