This quiz is based on linguistically valid dialect markers.
These are my results. Yes, I'm from the Midland, specifically southern Illinois, although I've lived "up north" near Chicago most of my life.
Recently, I've been hanging around with one of my cousins who spent more of his formative years in southern Illinois, so that may have influenced my answers a bit.

| What American accent do you have? Your Result: The Midland
"You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio. | |
