Well, with all the moving around you are doing, it will be hard to keep any regional accent.

What the bloody hell?!?!? It wouldn't let me post my results.

It says I have an accent from "the West" . . . aka doesn't sound like any accent at all.

Lemme try that again . . .

What?  You do not compute?

BTW:  For our Aussie and English friends, there are quizzes at the site for their accents as well.

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."

Well, I have never had anyone ask me if I'm from Chicago or Wisconsin, but I do call carbonated drinks pop.

I have Midland...the damn bar is almost completely red.

i came out midland, but the 2 dominant red lines were the inland north and north central. philly was at the bottom for me. i guess that makes sense since i was born and raised in pittsburgh and philly accents are very noticeable to me.

i was born and raised in pittsburgh

So your Steelerness comes naturally.

Do you say "yins"?

Midland.

Funny when I talk to KFC (North Easter) on the phone she says I have a southern accent.

When I talk to my in-law (deep south) they say I have a yankee accent.

Guess MY accent depends on the accent of the person I am talking too.

it's in my blood..i was weaned on iron city beer and perogies, lol.

Do you say "yins"?

actually, that's the 1 pittsburghese phrase i always detested. it sounds uneducated and ignorant to me. ironically, i usually use "ya'll" with not so much of a southerna accent.

in this (philly) area, people say "yous" as if making "you" plural only required adding an "s." it sounds equally as ignorant to me as yins does. so i've stuck with "ya'll."

pittsburgh (or "picksburgh" as some locals say) does have a very distinct language and dialect. if you are curious, go here...WWW Link
