This little quiz is interesting. It asks a series of questions to determine what accent you have. These are my results:

What American accent do you have?

Northern. Whether you have the world famous Inland North accent of the Great Lakes area, or the radio-friendly sound of upstate NY and western New England, your accent is what used to set the standard for American English pronunciation (not much anymore now that the Inland North sounds like it does).

Want to see where you're accent is from?
We're going to start with "cot" and "caught." When you say those words do they sound the same or different?

I have the Midland/neutral accent. I love that the last question was obviously geared toward Southerners and basically said, "we know you speak like an idiot, so don't lie."

To bad they didn't ask if you say things like "fixin to" or "reckon"
