    I grew up in Central Pennsylvania, fairly close to Dutch Country (Amish). I've been told that I have a tendency to "talk up" at the end of sentences, so it sounds a lot like I'm asking a question even when I'm making a statement. LOL

    I've been told I have a Wisconsin accent. NO CLUE what that means.

    I am from Northern Iowa, and yes we do have accents :) It's a cross between Canadian and Chicago.

    I have a New Orleans accent, which doesn't sound like any other accent in the South. It's closer to a New York accent.

    When I first came to NYC in 1984 I worked at an ad agency was told I had a "non-regional tone" and that I should do commercial voice-overs. Close to 30 years in the city I'm sounding distinctly like a New Yawka

    I grew up inj Southern Cali so I am told I have a slight valley girl accent. However I now have lived in the midwest for 12 years so family back home says I have a midwestern accent whatever that means. I don't hear either one.

    Dallas. Which means - ZERO "Southern" accent, but every now and then it takes on a lilt or a spanglish inflection when things get heated...

    That's because you are not from MI listening to yourself

    My Psych and Soc instructor was from Dallas-TRUST me she still has an accent

    I have a VERY strong cajun accent. VERY FLAT AND VERY DRAWN OUT. I am from way south Louisiana. I was actually in Washington DC a few weeks ago and was stopped on a tour because the lady wanted to tell me how cool/cute my accent was. I never realize I have an accent until I go out of town.

    I'm from southern Ohio, most of my family is from Kentucky, so I'm a weird mix. I'm living in Alaska now, so people always say I have a southern accent.

    My favorite....Australian...seriously makes me melt like butter.

    I've lived in Wisconsin most of my life, so I have a nice midwestern accent. I went to college in Georgia for 4 years and I pick up accents easily. I realized living in the south how nasal I sounded, so I backed off my Wisconsin accent and picked up some Georgia/Alabama influences when I'm tired/drunk/excited, or when I get off the phone with my southerners. My favorite Alabamian and I laugh when we tell the story of the first time we met. We seriously had to have a translator (one of my friends who lived in Atlanta and could understand both deep south, and way north). We call my accent "northern belle". And for what accent I love, I'm constantly asking my husband to learn an Aussie accent.

    Southern Maryland has it's own language at times, right along with a somewhat "drawly" accent... My husband's relatives in RI make fun of me, just like I tease them for not pronouncing their "R's". Pretty funny..

    i am from guam and i can speak the native language but my mother didn't speak to us in chamorro (the language of guam) because she was afraid we would have an accent. so, i don't think i have an accent. however, i have been told by people (not from guam) that i do. to me, i sound like a regular american.

    in other news, i can do any accent. it's kind of my talent.

    Hafa adai. That's all I know in Guamanian.

    Native Texan, here, but you wouldn't know it when hearing me speak. Most people can't detect an accent when I speak, but for some reason, people from the Upper Midwest and parts of New York always tell me I sound as though I'm from the Midwest. People from California say I sound like a Valley Girl, which I really don't like, haha. I just don't have an accent.
