I’m not from Minnesota!

Snatched from GirlRobot, I took this accent quiz. I’m surprised that it says I have a ‘North Central’ accent. I’ve never even been there! I grew up in California so I would have thought I’d get ‘The West’ accent, but people have said I say some words strangely so maybe this is why.

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.

    I’m from the Midland – which means I have no accent.

    However, I spell grey with an “e” and add an odd extra “u” here and there. Because I went to the first few years of school in Scotland. :-)
