What American accent do you have?

Northeastern.
You’re probably from somewhere near New York City, possibly north Jersey, or Connecticut or Rhode Island. If you are from New York City you may be one of the types who people never believe when you say you’re from New York.

I was born and raised in Southern Minnesota. Guess I have been down south long enough to be “official”.

Southern. Love it or hate it, your accent says you’re probably from somewhere south of the Ohio River.
