My accent...

[fajrdrako]

There is something inherently absurd about doing a quiz called "What American accent do you have?" when you aren't American. But I did it anyway.

The quiz thinks I sound as if I come from Minnesota. Since I have recently learned exactly where Minnesota is on the map - and that's said tongue in cheek, I already knew, sort of, since I went to Minnesota once long ago - I suppose it makes an odd kind of sense. Geographically I am far, far closer to upstate New York, but Minnesota is at least on the same latitude as I am and ... well, it could be a lot closer, but it isn't the West coast either.

The best part of the quiz is the last line: "Outsiders would probably mistake you for a Canadian a lot." Well - duh! Yes!

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.
