What American accent do you have?
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.

According that that test, I am from the "Inland North," which means I sound like I come from the Great Lakes region. Obviously, this is poppycock. I don't even really know what a Wisconsin accent sounds like, but I know I don't sound like it.

I got the same, and I am a native speaker!

Come to think of it, my geographic/etc background (for this language) is pretty darn similar to yours, if we ignore the first few years.
