"You must not be from around here!"

Something I hear everyday since moving to Appalachian Tennessee.
Usually said with a quizzative expression and some kindness in the eyes.
Occasionally smirked in the most mountain of accents and a threatening leer.
An insult or a compliment, depending on the speaker.


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.

This quiz made me laugh. As a former linguist-wannabe (facinated by dialectics... how lame can I get...)...
