I love these!

I'm sure this is so I can fall into the easiest accent for me when I go to the states, even though I usually sound more Californian-ish, sort of nowhere and everywhere, when I am there! Apparently, though:

What American accent do you have?

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.

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?





I do wish they'd have a "what country are you from" one, then we could see if I'm really a Kiwi! Stolen from [livejournal.com profile] legomyarrow, btw.

Now, I best get on with cooking dinner, I s'pose *sigh*. Roast chicken, anyone?

It thinks I'm from the South! What a weird quiz, it couldn't be more wrong.

Maybe you were channelling Sawyer? *grin* Where are you from? Of course, I shouldn't have even taken it, it's not like I'm American!

I'm from Chicago. Though I used to be able to do a pretty good southern accent.

I think it's funny you took the quiz as a not-American.

Oooh, I love those Southern accents! *grin* And I love getting into quizzes I shouldn't even be doing (am I losing it or what?)

I so can't picute you with a Bronx accent. Too funny! It did peg me right, told me eastern Massachusetts, which is different from western Mass so it was accurate!

New York?? hehe, What have you been hiding from us *g* It pegged me with the Midland 'non' accent. Which, for being a native Californian is pretty close to it.
