American Pacific Island accent, Samoan/Hawaiian. With a slight Utah influence thrown in at times. Bet a lot of guy's who post on here have an ethnic dialect, knowing it or not. Like Mexican American or American urban Black. Dialect is not the same as accent.

Judging by how you talk you are probably from north Jersey, New York City, Connecticut or Rhode Island. Chances are, if you are from New York City (and not those other places) people would probably be able to tell if they actually heard you speak.

hahahahaha

I'm from Sydney Australia

Idiotic and unscientific...

Allegedly I am from the Inland North...

He is taking classical minimal pairs and assuming homogeneity on the part of speakers.

Spot on

The Inland North

You may think you speak "Standard English straight out of the dictionary" but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like "Are you from Wisconsin?" or "Are you from Chicago?" Chances are you call carbonated drinks "pop."

And no, carbonated drinks are SODA.

You may be from NYC, but you SOUND like someone from the inland north. Ever considered that?

Btw, on a big enough scale, NYC IS inland north.

I am not afflicted by the regionalisms that most NYCers have.

It's true enough that my accent is difficult to localise.

The survey DOES make SOME sense in that many of the samples are homophones to many people in the states and one can often identify place of origin based on them.

I've always been somewhat undecided about japanese chicks...

Most of them are flat chested. Pale too. I don't like pale chicks...
