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.

What American accent do you have?
Quiz Created on GoToQuiz

Yes, I still have a non-regional North American accent, despite many years living in Australia. I don't think my accent is ever going to go away. Instead, my Australian husband, who has spent exactly one week of his entire life in the United States (at a PERL conference) but who has spent several years talking to me every day, is apparently picking one up (neither of us hear it, but strangers often comment on it).

My evil plan is working.
