What American accent do you have? Your Result: North Central "North Central" is what professional linguists call the Minnesota accent. If you saw "Fargo" you probably didn't think the characters sounded very out of the ordinary. Outsiders probably mistake you for a Canadian a lot.

Weird timing! I was just thinking on my commute home the other day how I would like to create a poll about this kind of thing. How do you say the word "school"? One syllable, like the word "soon"? Or two syllables, like "skew-el" or one syllable like "skewl"? Subtle differences...

When I was in high school, I knew a girl named Shawn. One of my friends incessantly teased me because I pronounced her name with a very distinct "aw" sound, not as if it rhymed with "don."

School can be one or two...depending on how fast I'm talking! GRin

Unfortunately, It's probably just reading our IPS address.

I really love accents and think they are fun. Both of my parents mostly lived out east while growing up. My grandmother used to put an "R" on the end of everything including my name "Lisa-r" That was ALWAYS weird!
