Where You 'uns From?

[Evil Teddy Bear of Doom]

You might not be from where you think you're from. I know I was a little surprised to learn that I speak like I come from Alabama (just call me Forrest Gump, I guess).

Take the test and be amazed...

I was born in the north east and the map says the same thing. I guess the surprise is that it could pinpoint based on how I talk.

I'm not American, but thought it'd be kind of fun to see where I talk most like.
I got:

• Los Angeles
• Santa Clarita
• Glendale

I guess if I ever move to the US they'll only understand me in California.

My results were all cities in my area of California.

Actually one of them said Nevada, but I've been there and they don't really talk any different than people in California.

I live the North East and I talk like I am from Mississippi. This does not surprise me at all. My dad was in the military and the longest time he was stationed was at an Air Force base in Mississippi. I have never been able to completely lose the Southern accent.

Oh I've done the test and result is that I'm from the Chicago area It quite fit to me, cause I'm polish ;]

 

[Dizzy]

I got Denver, Lincoln and Grand Rapids.

I'm from Ohio though and grew up with relatives from Kentucky, so it's kind of interesting.
