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.

    Go figure, I have a Midland accent, too. What a coinkydink… I think what this test shows is either i ficked up pronounciations from my family, as the only time I have ever been in Ohio was for a week when I was 11, or that Californians sound alot like Midlanders.
    Who knew??
    Love you Sara
