"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."

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!

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!
