Brownie's accent

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Midland

"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.

Yes, this fits me to a T. I live in Indiana, but I'm originally from Ohio. Besides being told I have a voice for radio, someone once said I have a face for radio.

I'm interested in finding out how my sister in Florida would do on this quiz. She lived in Ohio for much of her life, except for a couple years in Tennessee in the late 1970s. She's lived in Panama City since Spring 1997, so nearly ten years now. The last time I heard her speak for more than just a few minutes, she had the same accent she has always had (a "Midland" one), except she would sprinkle "ya'll" throughout the conversation.

  3. Midland as well...slightly more than yours. And "The West" came in second. Very interesting. I need to have my lovely wife do the quiz, see where she falls in.

  4. I'm midland too. Heaviest on the West (which makes sense for a Californian.)

  5. I don't know why I even took this quiz. I'm from Alabama, after all. I turned up...shocker here, as a Southern accent. I can only guess that it didn't have a redneck detector.

  6. Okay, 90% South; 75% Philadelphia and Inland North; 1/2% North East and 1/3 The West; very little on the last too. Guess I am turning a bit southern after 10 years of living in FL.
