big time loop hole.
What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The West

The Midland
Boston
North Central
The Inland North
Philadelphia
The South
The Northeast

Take More Quizzes

Now if they had thrown in a few words that end in "r", such as "whatever", "car" or "there", it would have been more accurate. And even then, it depends on how fast I am talking. Or if I am tired or what have you.
Any local could pick me out of a crowd in two seconds- a tourist, maybe.
And if I impersonate certain relatives, more so... hee hee.
("Now ya go on dawn the road right next to the shkiddah. Ayuh, right theyah you pahk ya cah right theyah. Yessah!")
No I don't talk like that. Or do I?
Did I mention that if you throw Mainers in with anyone else with any other accent,(yes, anyone, overseas even) we will end up talking like them? "'Magine that!"
