Follow-up to: Did Americans in 1776 have British accents?
Related, the "Which American accent do you have?" quiz. apparently I have a "Northeastern" accent. I'm from Australia, so I can't say that is particularly accurate as to the location, but it did pick up a number of features in my speech. It is interesting doing the quiz to see what words sound the same to some people.http://www.youthink.com/quiz.cfm?action=go_detail&sub_ac...
