What American accent do you have?
Your Result: Philadelphia

Your accent is as Philadelphian as a cheesesteak! If you're not from Philadelphia, then you're from someplace near there like south Jersey, Baltimore, or Wilmington. if you've ever journeyed to some far off place where people don't know that Philly has an accent, someone may have thought

Dude, it's "wooder", and I know plenty of philly folk who say "ya'll"... ;P

But yeah, there is a pretty distinct twang of brotherly love.

"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.

Methinks I must have answered something wrong on the test -- I get the "television and radio" comment all the time, and have *never* had anyone tell me that I have an accent. It's usually the opposite: people think I have a complete lack of accent. And I actually do say "wah-ter."

Not that I'd mind being associated with Philly, and damn, could I go for a cheesesteak.
