Re: What's your accent?
+1, same results. Makes sense since we got the same native language i guess.My Results:
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.
Thing is I don't even live in the U.S. Hell, English isn't my first language xDComment

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.
Moved from Germany to Florida in 2005, so yeah, that's correct.Comment

Re: What's your accent?
I'm English by the way.
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)

Re: What's your 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.
Very strange. I've lived in central/eastern Kentucky all my life. And I pronounce the L in stalk.

wtf i DO say stalk and stock differently -___-Comment

Re: What's your accent?
Stock and stalk might be a bad example because of the "L". I think the test is getting at word pairs like collar/caller, don/dawn, not/naught, etc. The "ah" sound versus the "aw" sound. If you pronounce all these differently too, then yeah the quiz is probably messed up, lol.

Re: What's your accent?
I got Western, which is true for my pronunciation but I speak with Southern mannerisms. Using y'all is an obvious one, but I also slur my words together in a characteristically Southern style. The quiz is decent in some ways, but it would be a lot better if there was a way that someone else would grade you (maybe have you read a passage that includes all of these words somehow), because the way you think about words when you see them and think about them is much different than how you would speak if you weren't really thinking about it. Plus, accents have a lot to deal with how the different words interact with one another during speech and not just the different vowel sounds.
On a separate note (referring back to Izzy's comment sorta): In first grade, we learned homonyms and homophones, etc. We had a very Southern teacher, and she taught us that pen/pin and tent/tint were homophones. I was the only one who argued it lol, because my parents are both from New York and have reasonably neutral accents (though my mom picks up the accent of whomever she speaks to).Comment
