What American accent do you have?

Your accent is as Philadelphian as a cheesesteak! If you're not from Philadelphia, then you're from someplace near there like south Jersey, Baltimore, or Wilmington. if you've ever journeyed to some far off place where people don't know that Philly has an accent, someone may have thought you talked a little weird even though they didn't have a clue what accent it was they heard.
Result Breakdown:
100% Philadelphia
90% The Midland
78% The Inland North
77% The South
76% The Northeast

"Last question. When you say "bag" does it rhyme with "vague"?"

W(ho)TF talks like that? How do those two words rhyme?

Some of my family will say bag and beg like "baig". Same with leg, "laig".

Said I was midland or don't have an accent and that "You have a good voice for TV and radio". I was in radio for 13 years, go figure. I always tried to speak "proper" english and not like most around here. Born and bred in western NC.

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."

Nailed my accent.

When you say Wisconsin, you've said it all

It got me. It said Northeast "udging by how you talk you are probably from north Jersey, New York City, Connecticut or Rhode Island. Chances are, if you are from New York City (and not those other places) people would probably be able to tell if they actually heard you speak." Born and raised on Long Island so I would say it got me.
