accent, what accent?
So results from the accent test say I have the North Central so-called "Minnesota Accent" which is only because I clicked the about/mouth =/= browse and loud. If I changed it to them sounding the same then it went to Western.
Now for the lengthy I do not sound like the weirdos from the Fargo movie rant with gratuitous bolding.
I do not say 'aboot'. My about/mouth sound is just different than browse/loud but I can't think of anyway to explain how. Just that it does not sound like boot. And if I don't say route like in brute (It's off and on), then it sounds the same as that. For the record my roof/root rhyme with foot. Also my vague does not rhyme with bag and I say bay-gull too, for bagel.
I do not say "doancha know" or "yah, you betcha." I know few people that do, and usually they're from the 'burbs. Or by state borders.
Snow, soda and Minnesota do make me do the long oh, however to a degree. I'm pretty sure that every Minnesotan, no matter how little "Minnesotan accent" they have will always say Minnesota with the long oh just because everyone does. It's just not horribly drawn out unless you're purposefully making fun.
I may have influence from all the time spent with my cousins that live by the Quad Cities in Iowa/Illinois, I don't know. But whatever. It is what it is.
What American accent do you have?

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
