Jordy I think your accent is very close to the Boston accent
@PintoBean said the exact same thing when I sent her the video of me fishing at a spot called the 'carpark' - or 'cahrpahrk' as I apparently say
But don’t you have a jersey shore house? You hear what I hear.
Omg this had me howling! . Poor cats got startled!Here's a conversation I once had with my hairstylist when I lived in Long Island. (I'm from Massachusetts, just south of Boston.)
Him: So you're going to the Hamptons this weekend? Watch out for shocks!
Me: Yes, I am. What do you mean, is there something in the water?
Him: Yes, did you read that article in Newsday about the shocks?
Me: No! Like from what? Eels?
Him: Huh? No, not eels...what do you mean eels? Not electric shahks, shocks!
Me: Electric sharks? What are those?
Yes we finally figured out that he pronounced sharks the exact same way I pronounced shocks and vice-versa.
Since I had to YouTube this to hear it I'm gonna paste it.I have the accent of Boris in "Rocky and Bullwinkle".
I suppose so. I've been asked if I am from Canada by several people and another person thought I came here from Wisconsin. Born in Washington state. Spent my whole life here with almost no travel out of the area. So... Yeah.
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.

My accent was close enough - Northeast Yonkers Newark area. I spent a good number of years upstate so sometimes I get a little twangy.
The old money in the 'hood have their own special accent. Similar to Boston Brahmins.
I don't think I sound like any of the 5 boroughs though.
My friend who was originally from Brooklyn sounds exactly like the Brooklyn accent in the video! She probably no longer does after many years in Connecticut, but I still hear it, of course.

Been asked where I'm from numerous times because some folks hear a southern twang in my voice. Been a metro city girl all my life. I do have family from the south.
OK. I didn't know what you meant, so I googled this. I now could guess. Would you, please, name the city. I will admit ignorance rather than to remain ignorant!

In the states even hanging out with southerners I never noticed I spoke differently, but when talking to the fluIdly melodious French, I am shocked to hear that I do have the Buffalo accent.
Detroit.
