Today's meme: Regional accents (US)

[thatcrazycajun]

Yawningly yanked from maedbh7, this entertaining and (in my case, at least) accurate quiz:

 

What American accent do you have?
Created by Xavier on Memegen.net

Southern. Love it or hate it, your accent says you're probably from somewhere south of the Ohio River.

Take this quiz now - it's easy!

We're going to start with "cot" and "caught." When you say those words do they sound the same or different?

Different Same Same, no wait I mean different, maybe, a little bit different...

Well, they nailed me. I have a "Philadelphia" accent, and that's where I'm from. Apparently, it's more isolated than your southern accent -- the highlighted area was about a 30 mile radius around Philly.

It's not a particularly vivid accent, but I can always tell a tri-state (PA, NJ, DE) area native within about three sentences.

That map is dismayingly wide and commensurately vague.
