I just saw this quiz on one of my favorite blogs (author Karen Hancock) and thought I'd try it out. I thought for sure after all the places I've lived in life it would come out as "no accent", but apparently the Philadelphia roots go deeper than I thought. But REALLY, how can it be truly Philadelphian when I know that "don" and "dawn" sound completely different!!!

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: Philadelphia
 

Your accent is as Philadelphian as a cheesesteak! If you're not from Philadelphia, then you're from someplace near there like south Jersey, Baltimore, or Wilmington. if you've ever journeyed to some far off place where people don't know that Philly has an accent, someone may have thought you talked a little weird even though they didn't have a clue what accent it was they heard.

  1. AS to quiz. Similar to you, but my list below is different order. So, my New England roots come through a little stronger. Now is that nature or nurture?
