Most people who don’t live in New England, the South, or the Midwest will tell you they don’t have any type of accent. However, as a person who has lived in many different areas of the United States, I can attest that this simply isn’t true. There are many, many regions in the US that have accents; whether the folks who live there will readily admit it or not is a different story!

This “Accent Test” is a fun and fairly accurate quiz. I’d encourage you to take the test and let us know if it was accurate for you. Have fun with it! In the coming months, I hope to explore a little bit more in-depth some of the regional colloquialisms that I have noticed while traveling or living in various areas of the United States. Our spoken language is quirky and always interesting!
