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



North Central. This is what everyone calls a "Minnesota accent." If you saw "Fargo" or "Drop Dead Gorgeous" you probably didn't think the characters sounded very out of the ordinary. Some Americans may mistake you for a Canadian.

If you are not a northern Minnesotan, you are probably one of these:
(a) A Yooper from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan; or
(b) A Canadian who has a mostly but not completely Canadian accent

Take this quiz now - it's easy!

Yep. I have a Canadian accent, and I grew up in Manitoba, which is right above North Dakota, so this fits. I've also been told that where some Canadians pronounce things the British way, I pronounce it the American way. My worst is the hard vowels in words like "pasta," which makes me sound ridiculous when I'm saying words like "naan."
And yeah, I loved the accents in Fargo. They reminded me of some people from where I grew up, although mine isn't that exaggerated.
