What is your American Accent?

Western

Western is kind of neutral, but not quite since it`s still possible to tell where you`re from. So you might not actually be from the West (but you probably are). If you really want to sound "neutral," learn how to say "stock" and "stalk" differently.

makes sense. . tha's where I've lived my whole life. . .
 
Which American accent do you have?
Northeastern This could either mean an r-less NYC or Providence accent or one from Jersey which doesn't sound the same. Just because you got this result doesn't mean you don`t pronounce R's.(People in Jersey don`t call their state "Joisey" in real life)
 
Which American accent do you have?

Neutral


You`re not Northern, Southern, or Western, you`re just plain -American-. Your national identity is more important than your local identity, because you don`t really have a local identity. You might be from the region in that map, which is defined by this kind of accent, but you could easily not be. Or maybe you just moved around a lot growing up.

Neutral as well. I live and grew up in Seattle. When I went to ireland they thought I had a string accent.

False. It's Southern or Southeastern. I did not move around a lot.

Northern
You have a Northern accent. That could either be the Chicago/Detroit/Cleveland/Buffalo accent (easily recognizable) or the Western New England accent that news networks go for.

That's funny. All throughout my life I have been told that I have a Canadian accent, despite never having been to Canada nor having any close Canadian friends. Perhaps it's all of that maple syrup (the real stuff--not the fake American crap) I consumed when I was growing up.

As for accuracy, I sound nothing like someone from Chicago...
