What American accent do you have? Your Result: North Central "North Central" is what professional linguists call the Minnesota accent. If you saw "Fargo" you probably didn't think the characters sounded very out of the ordinary. Outsiders probably mistake you for a Canadian a lot.

It was spot on for me:

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Inland North


You may think you speak "Standard English straight out of the dictionary" but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like "Are you from Wisconsin?" or "Are you from Chicago?" Chances are you call carbonated drinks "pop."


Doesn't everyone call them pop?

Philadelphia? I sound like I'm from Philadelphia? Shoot me now.

No, wait - shoot my parents. It's their fault.

Gee, no surprise - Inland North. I always knew I didn't have an accent, everyone else does. As far as the pop/soda. bag/sack debate, when you travel as much as I do you learn to call it by the regional name so as not to appear as a tourist.

Anyway, I hate how they lump all the "West" together. The Pacific Northwest, expesially the rural areas, talk nothing like they do in California.
