| What American accent do you have?
Your Result: Philadelphia
Your accent is as Philadelphian as a cheesesteak! If you’re not from Philadelphia, then you’re from someplace near there like south Jersey, Baltimore, or Wilmington. if you’ve ever journeyed to some far off place where people don’t know that Philly has an accent, someone may have thought you talked a little weird even though they didn’t have a clue what accent it was they heard. |

The first time I took this quiz – when it saw over at my Philly pal’s – I was a Midland accent – but my highest percentage was Philly. I was just over at Sandra’s laughing at her because she’s horrified that she came out with a Philly accent and I decided I’d take it again. DUDE! The questions were different this time for sure, but the outcome is all CHEESESTEAK!
The truth is no one outside of the area can pronounce my name the way it’s really meant to pronounced, i.e the way my mother always yelled it – with a glorified Philly A!
Break over. Back to work….
Okay, the quiz told me I sound like I’m from Boston. HA! I really sound like a Southern California valley girl. Like, for reals, ya know.
Woo hoo! I got Philly, too. I’m actually from a city about 2 hours directly South of Philly, so it’s pretty darn close.
Funny, funny!
It certainly pegged me:
Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you’re a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta.
Y’all would be right except for all the Southern colloquialisms that pepper my speech.
Heh, when I took it the other day I came out Philly too! Truth is I am a joisy goil, and I don’t have to spend ten seconds with anyone from around there to slip right into the local dialect. After that was Midland. Not surprising that I slip into any dialect, I moved constantly as a kid and pick up the accents right away.
What cheesesteak with no Tasty Pie? I’m curious about Breyer’s how much is it there? (1/2 gal)
I came out Midlands…which can’t possibly be right for anyone coming from Muleshoe, TX, no matter how long ago I left home!!
Cheesesteak here.
I took the test and I am from Philly as well. Really hilarious since I am from Rome, Italy.
