Your American Accent link doesn't work any more.

Forget that - I just clicked on that link - it doesn't work anymore

This one told me I had a Midland accent, the newscaster neutral one? Is that
the American equivalent of BBC English?

Mine is North Eastern!

Now would that be because that is where a lot of the original UK
immigrants landed (just re-reading The Winthrop Woman by Anya Seton),
and the basic English pronunciation has stuck!

Admittedly some were Suffolk (soft lilting accent) and Norfolk
(sometimes difficult to understand), but a lot were well educated and
from other parts of the UK (eg Lincolnshire)

I'm Midland -- guess that's because I'm from Cincinnati, shown on the
Midland map.

This one got more specific about where I am.

You have a Northern accent. That could either be the
Chicago/Detroit/Cleveland/Buffalo accent (easily recognizable) or the
Western New England accent that news networks go for.

I'm also Midland. I was born in Chicago, but I didn't live there past
the age of two. G I lived briefly in Maryland, but I lived in Arizona
from the time I was five until we moved to Nevada in 1999 -- over 46
years!

I got the same thing. I am originally from northern Minnesota--an accident,
I'm sure, since I have only truly felt at home in Arizona. Since so many
people from WCCO and KSTP (Minnesota TV and radio stations) have now become
familiar names on national TV and radio, I always thought they looked for
Midwestern accents. Maybe I should be working in broadcasting instead of
patient financial services!

But maybe I would use too many of the "bad" words I learned from my
brothers..........LOL
