I took it honestly, and it gave me “inland north” which impressed me since I’ve spent 30 years since quickly unlearning an Minnesota accent. It gave me a response having to do with people thinking I’m from Wisconsin.
Then, I tried answering the exact OPPOSITE of all of my answers, and it told me I was “North Central” which is the Minnesota (”Fargo” movie) accent.
(I’m less impressed now that I know the test thinks Wisconsin is the exact opposite of Minnesota. Basically, it just tells me I don’t have the key indicators of a southern or eastern accent.)
What American accent do you have? 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. |

Carbonated drinks are called soda. I know very few people who call it pop - maybe a few old timers.

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. |

“The West” for me.
I guess it fits, having lived in California, Utah, Colorado.
Not even close. I was born in on Long Island, but have lived in the Washington, DC suburbs since I was 6. It places me from Chicago or nearby.
Raised outside Philly. They’re saying I’m from Boston. Other accent tests consistently call me Western or Neutral. Mother called it “cosmopolitan”, but there isn’t enough British English to rate cosmopolitan.
Yo! Tsup? Djeetyet?
