I found this over at Big Stupid Tommy's, and it pegged my hometown quite well. Even though I've lived below the Manson-Nixon line for over twenty years now, southerners still think I sound like a yankee. (But when I go home to visit, people remark on my southern drawl. Go figure.)
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.  |

Neutral here. All american mutt. Funny thing, for someone who's lived her whole life in Texas.
I get the Mid-Atlantic or "Philadelphia" accent. That's pretty accurate.
srav -- Dear Daughter also got "neutral" and she's lived in the south her whole life. I wonder what it takes to ping "southern" or "texas" (if indeed they're among the results)?
John -- I love the Philly/North Jersey accent, as that's where I went to college (near Harrisburg, PA). It's puts a very unique twist on vowels (I suspect that's why that question about the word "horrible" is there)...
I am a neutral, that's pronounced newtrull.
I got neutral. I figure it's because I had a New York mother, a New England grandmother and a Nebraskan father, and I am Californian.
They do seem to have improved it from the last time I took it. It used to peg me as some sort of Canadian because of a thing or two I get from my Tidewater Virginia side of my family.
Now it gets me as "neutral", which I suspect is really what they use for "can't figure you out".
I took it and it says I sound like you...either it's wrong or I don't know what I sound like...
