Thank you for taking our quiz. I hope you got the right answer, or at least that something in your results applied to you. If you want to know why you got the answer you did (and add to a fascinating accent map) go to <A HREF="http://freeshells.ch/~xavier/accentmap/pageone.htm">this page</A>.

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.

Re: Yessssssssss!

this quiz is good.
Mine had me to the tee

Northern. Whether you have the world famous Inland North accent of the Great Lakes area, or the radio-friendly sound of upstate NY and western New England, your accent is what used to set the standard for American English pronunciation (not much anymore now that the Inland North sounds like it does).

If you are not from the North, you are probably one of the following:
(a) A Southerner who hates Southern accents and tries really hard to "talk right"; or
(b) A New Yorker or New Jerseyan who doesn't have the full accent

Yeah, I get varying levels of 'you have a NY accent' or not. Sometimes people have compared me to 'Tai from Clueless', and then other times I'll ask people to guess where I'm from and they won't be able to place me. I got California, once. That one made me laugh.

Did you see the Yankees win 13-2 tonight?
'Cause I did.

Hope the Tigers are on their way out of their slump, too.
