"The Northeast - Judging by how you talk you are probably from north Jersey, New York City, Connecticut or Rhode Island. Chances are, if you are from New York City (and not those other places) people would probably be able to tell if they actually heard you speak."

Apparently.

My results were "midland". I was born and raised in Northeast Arkansas. I thought I sounded real "country".

Years and years ago Public Television did a special series on the history of the English Language and one of the pieces that remember is that the present day accent of people on the mid to upper East coast is more similar to a Scottish accent then anything else!

That was fun. Of course I ended up as Southern, which being from West Virginia, hit it on the nose!

Born and raised in St. Louis, moved to Iowa after college. I ought give this to my husband. He was born & raised in Louisville, KY. He says "tire" like "tar" "crayon" like "crown" and many other different sayings. When I first moved to Louisville I had a hard time understanding people!
