the dialect meme that's been going around

What American accent do you have?
Created by Xavier on Memegen.net

Northeastern.
You're probably from somewhere near New York City, possibly north Jersey, or Connecticut or Rhode Island. If you are from New York City you may be one of the types who people never believe when you say you're from New York.

If you are not from here, you are probably one of the following:
(a) A Philadelphian who can't stand the way other Philadelphians say "on";
(b) A Yat from New Orleans; or
(c) Someone from England, Australia, or New Zealand, in which case why are you doing this quiz in the first place?

Take this quiz now - it's easy!

We're going to start with "cot" and "caught." When you say those words do they sound the same or different?

Different Same, no wait I mean different, maybe, a little bit different... Same

I took something similar before and it was right. Originally from Boston but living in NJ for a long time.

This time they got it completely wrong. They said I was southern. Not even close. LOL.

Boston accents are great. It's a shame that so many regional accents outside of Southern are disappearing.

What's a Yat?

That's surprising, because there are some New Yorkers that say "terlit" and "erl" (for oil.) Weird!

Thanks for the explanation! :)

I wonder what it is that defines the neutral accent?
