"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.
I am Canadian thou....lol

I'm Midland. Said this is OH PA missouri Illinois. I am from Nebraska so Midland makes sense. Said I also could be from Florida or GA - funny must have picked up a bit of hubby's accent since he's from Florida LOL
Northeast - got that one right!
Thanks, Claire, that was fun!

Oddly, it's telling me I'm Midland.
Guess I understand. Nothing here for my particular accent...

Mine is saying "The West", but it says that it's the one where you "don't" have an accent aka you sound like the people on TV, which I guess is right.
It knew I was from the Great Lakes area....pretty good. I grew up just south of Lake Erie.
There was something for the Great Lakes?
... how did I get The Midlands? I'm from just East of Lake Erie

west...midland??? is it talking about midland texas?? lol?? i have a straight up texan accent, know it for a fact, but fun quiz, nonetheless!!!
No accent = midland
I'm a Midland. It's funny because people always say I have a "TV" voice or basically no accent at all. Sometimes it sounds a little Minnesota though. That makes sense with me moving around so much.
I'm Midland. Probably because I was rebellious at a young age and tried my hardest not to pick up the country twang. Since then I've moved around a lot. But if I hang out in one spot long enough, I start to pick up the local accent. I can't help it.
Dang it. Everyone can tell I'm from Wisconsin....even the computer.
Ok- I got North Central- yet I'm a California native!!!!
I got the west: born and raised!
Said Philly, pa. interesting born in Pitts. pa. left there 32 years ago and have lived all over the world. My husband took the test. said Philly, pa. He was born and lived in Tn. for 18yrs. and also has lived every where for the last 32 yrs. Guess I was a good influence on him after all. :) he he.
If I had an american accent it would be from the Northeast :)
..hah!
it says Inland North, whatever that is.
Let's just say that I was born on toity-toid and toid, and drink cawfee in the morning, if youse get my drift....
