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.” |

“North Central” is what professional linguists call the Minnesota accent. If you saw “Fargo” you probably didn’t think the characters sounded very out of the ordinary. Outsiders probably mistake you for a Canadian a lot. |

It’s not just what you come up that’s interesting but the mix. If you look at the charts, I show more South than CC does. Where could that come from?

The Midwest through the rockies into the Pacific NW don’t really have too much of a dialect compared to the South and the East coast.
Here in the Midwest about the only noticeable deviance from proper American-english is dropping the g off of words terminating in -ing, and mispronouncing the as thee depending on the word that follows.

Mlankton, that’s what I thought growing up in Madison, Wisconsin. Now that I’ve lived on the west coast for many years the Midwest accent is very noticeable to me.
