YOU CAN TAKE THE BOY OUT OF NEW YORK...

YOU CAN TAKE THE BOY OUT OF NEW YORK...

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Northeast

Judging 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.

Amazingly, I'd thought I'd lost most of my New York accent. A tip of the cap to Harry Broertjes, who forwarded this my way.

Mine came up as "Midland" an area designation I didn't know existed.

(Midland = Pennsylvania, So. Ohio, So. Indiana, So. Illinois and Missiouri)

I did find a number of the tests inconclusive. I distinguish "to" "two" and "too," but then I also live in an area where "ax" is the sound (and spelling!) people give to the word "ask."

New Yorkers have been known to do that, too.

Here are some questions that weren't on the quiz:

1. Do you put an "r" after the "a" in "Washington"?

2. Do you pronounce "across" with a "t" sound at the end?

3. Do you pronounce "height" as if it ends with an "h"?
