Mine is the most horribly boring of all: neutral. Bleh
I grew up in Texas where all my neighbors were displaced rust belt workers who moved to Houston to get jobs when the factories closed. My mom was from Kentucky and my dad from California. SO I guess all those crazy influences just cancelled each other out and I get stuck with 'Neutral"
Neutral. I have a bit of a Cleveland accent, though. We say our “A’s” a little weird.
Northeastern. Which is not surprising, given that I’ve spent most of my life here. 
I was told by the speech instructor in broadcasting school that I have almost the perfect neutral accent, marred only by the regional habit of talking too damn fast.
Western, which is accurate. Not sure how that’s different from Neutral, as linguistically the generic one is “General American.” Pretty much answered “Yes/Same sound/etc.” to all except “pasta” and “horrible,” which I associate with New York/NE, bag/vague which seems upper midwest, and the Southernesque or Midwest tent/tint, heel/hill, Ah’m, and grandpa-English “roof.”
Northeastern here, too. Spent the first 8 years living in Northern New Jersey, and the rest in Connecticut, mostly the Hartford area.
After leaving in BAW-ston and Joisey most of my life, I score neutral???
It says I’m neutral. I don’t think that’s right, though. I know there’s a Yooper accent, and as much as I try to avoid it, I can’t believe after living here for 10+ years I don’t have any of it. Think “Fargo” only not so pronounced, and more sing-songy.
There’s a lot of people here with much more pronounced accents than I have. But even when I lived in Colorado (and had for 10+ years), I’d occasionally have people ask me if I was from Canada, based on my speech patterns.
Neutral. Born and raised in Montgomery County, MD (suburbs of DC).
I got neutral too, but I’m more southern than neutral, com what people have said.
Neutral. Figures. Dad’s Kansas balances Mom’s Texas mixed with Southern California.
Southern. No real surprise there.
Western. I do live in the western.
Northern. Born and raised in Wisconsin, live outside Chicago.
I got Northeastern, which I suppose makes sense since I’m eh northeast of the US.
I grew up in rural Minnesota north of Minneapolis, but have lived in Chicago for about 10 years now. I don’t have nearly as thick of an accent as I used to.
Mid-Atlantic. Considering I spent my formative years in Baltimore and its suburbs, I’d say that’s pretty good.
It got me.
It says “Northern”, but I think I have a trace of a Philadelphia accent in certain words. I moved out of the Philly area when I was ten years old.
Northern, which I guess is what you get when you answer all the questions correctly.
I got Northeastern. (Lifelong SC :eek: )
One I had to fudge on. “On.” I pronounce it to rhyme with “phone” or “bone.” That wasn’t one of the options, but I would never pronounce it to rhyme with “con” or “don.”
