Looking for something fun to do this afternoon I decided to do this American Accent Quiz. According to the results, if I were an American with my current accent I would be from the Northeast.
As someone not hailing from the States I’m not sure what this all means, but it was fun anyway!
Funny – I’m *from* the northeast but it says North central for me:
“‘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.”
Generally, living where I do, I think I’m mistaken for a Canadian almost all the time until I tell them I’m American.
