What American accent do you have?
Created by Xavier on Memegen.net

North Central. This is what everyone calls a "Minnesota accent." If you saw "Fargo" or "Drop Dead Gorgeous" you probably didn't think the characters sounded very out of the ordinary. Some Americans may mistake you for a Canadian.

Take this quiz now - it's easy!

We're going to start with "cot" and "caught." When you say those words do they sound the same or different?

Same, no wait I mean different, maybe, a little bit different... Different Same

I mentioned to I think it was mrissa once (we were talking about Minnesotans and how they talk) that you didn't sound like a Minnesota guy to me until the time you said the phrase "Minnesota guy." And then I heard it ever after.

(Midland here, it claims, but one of my favorite parts of living in Boston is that nobody asks me if I'm from Boston anymore.

("You from the East Coast? Boston?"

("No. Ohio by way of Illinois."

("Oh.")

Yeah, I can't exactly figure your accent :-)

I have this theory that the best way to confirm someone's origin is to have them say where they're from. Wisconsinites pronounce "Wisconsin" in a very specific way. Ditto Illinites, at least most of them. And, yeah. Min-knee-SEW-ta!
