The three most similar Cities seem to be Pembroke Pines, Fort Lauderdale and Miami/Hialeah while the least similar are Grand Rapids, Rockford and Milwaukee for me. Nice to know !!!!

I'm curious: How easy is it for Americans to work out which state or region another American is from just by their accent? I mean, even non-Americans can distinguish between General American/ Southern American/ Boston accents. But I'm guessing native speakers can narrow it down more. Can you tell what state or city someone is from?

Me personally, kind of. Like I know Boston, Jersey, a bit of Cali and Southern. I know Boston from reality TV (if that counts). Jersey because I have a friend who moved from there. Etc. But at the same time people constantly tell me that they think I'm from the south...at the same time I also hear 'are you from way up north?' More than anything people are like, 'you have an accent but idk wtf it is.' In other words I think many people have at least a general idea.

Interesting, thanks. Wait lol California has a specific accent?

Confession: I can't tell the difference between a General American accent and a Canadian accent. Like maybe when I know that someone is Canadian I'll pick out differences. But when I hear a Canadian person speak, my brain defaults to "they're from the the US". I'm sure Canadians hate it, lel.

@Left I am actually from Miami/Ft Lauderdale and I have that accent.

@ThePrincesTale and generally yes people from the US can definitely narrow it down more. Someone from the state of Georgia sound different from someone from Texas despite having a southern accent just the same.

Weird I got Raleigh,Richmond and Boston tho I am from Miami/Ft Lauderdale. I might take the test again to see honestly but my hometowns were close in most similar percentage.

I took it again and apparently I made some errors with my testing the first time but this time I got Ft.Lauderdale,Fl,Pembroke Pines,FL and Rochester,NY which makes more sense honestly lol
