So, where in America is your accent from?

[Sjofn]

Western as expected, which is the real neutral. 

Keep dreaming, bitch.

I got actual neutral. I guess all those people insisting throughout my life that I don't sound like I'm from NJ were right.

Anyone who has ever heard me on TS or Vent should be completely unsurprised by this.

And Huckleberry Hound selects Donald Driver in round 4.

OK that made me actually LOL.

Me too. Well-played, cockfag.

Which American accent do you have?

My Results:


Mid Atlantic Also known as a "Philadelphia accent" but also heard in south Jersey, Baltimore, and thereabouts.

Strazos made me cry.

I got this one.  But I don't have a Philly accent.  There is a difference between central jersey and south jersey.  Oh well.

Would be pretty awesome if the test was good enough to actually get accents down to that level.  I mean, people can tell if your from South Boston by your accent.  America has a lot of really area specific accents (as I imagine most other countries do).

Western as expected, which is the real neutral.  

Keep dreaming, bitch.

Actually, he's right.  Due to Hollywood, the California "accent", if you insist on calling it that, has become the world standard.  When ever I talked to people in Asia who were fluent enough to not have their own accent, they sounded like they were from California.  Every one of them said it was because they spent so much time watching American films/TV to help learn English.  Even all the Chinese I knew from HK, which really confused me.

I always thought that Conneticut (like katherine Hepburn, William F Buckley, etc) is the only thing close to a British derived accent. I don't know where the fuck the relation is between Bostonites and New Yorkers is with UK speakers though... It's completely lost at this point. I think even Virginians might have more "Britishisms" than New Yorkers would.


As for Asia, it depends. HK speakers can be sort of Engrish Posh, if you can imagine that.  Same with Singapore.
