I Don’t Have An Accent, Yous’ Guys’ Do
This one is pretty good. It nailed my accent, or lack thereof. I grew up right inbetween the Philly and Midlands accent regions so I gots a bit of both.
What American accent do you have?

Mid-Atlantic. This is what everyone calls a Philadelphia accent although it’s also the accent of south Jersey, Baltimore, and Wilmington. Well, everyone that lives near there, that is. Outsiders can tell you talk differently from them even though they can’t tell what your accent is.
Midland. The Midland (please don’t confuse with “Midwest”) itself is the neutral zone between the North and South. But just because you have a Midland accent doesn’t mean you’re from there. Since it is considered a neutral, default, “non-regional” accent you could easily be from someplace without its own accent, like Florida, or a big city in the South like Dallas, Houston, or Atlanta.
Take this quiz now – it’s easy!
Dead on, I was born in Atlanta and still live there but everyone here thinks I sound like I grew up in the North, go figure.
Spot on Brian.
Only other people have accents.
Now do a map that covers Ireland!!
Despite the fact that I’m from Cavan, Ireland, I apparently have the same accent as you, Brian.
Yup. Yup.
Hot Damn! (Love that phrase). . . I’m one of those rude New Yorkers who mistook my friends for beggers last month when they were simply asking for directions:
New York City. You are most definitely from New York City. Not New Jersey, not Connecticut. If you are from Jersey then you can probably get into New York City in 10 minutes or less.
Yeah, I’m ah Sutharner. Ya gat a prab-lemn wit it?
