Perfect For Being A News Anchor
| What American accent do you have? (Best version so far) Neutral You're not Northern, Southern, or Western, you're just plain -American-. Your national identity is more important than your local identity, because you don't really have a local identity. You might be from the region in that map, which is defined by this kind of accent, but you could easily not be. Or maybe you just moved around a lot growing up.

I got Southern.
I think the "Do you say RIGHT and PRICE with the same vowel sound as RIDE and PRIZE?" was the clincher for me... I say "right" and "price" but "rah-ide" and "prah-ize." Oddly, someone at school a few weeks ago asked me if I was from Louisiana because I said "rhyme" like "rah-ime" instead of "rime." He knew someone else from there and said we sounded similar.

This whole question of accents doesn't arise very often for me because I am so soft-spoken that many people never hear a word I say. But I was asked once in the 1990s if I was from Germany -- because of how precisely I enunciate words when I speak.
