46% (Yankee). Barely in the Yankee category

I grew up in central Pa, which is officially Appalachia. When I lived near Philadelphia, I thought THOSE people talked funny.

84% Dixie. Born in Texas and raised in a few states before settling in Mississippi for first grade on. My moved-South Yankee granddaddy kept me from being 100%. :D

What can I say? A Danish-American father, an Irish-American mother, born in TEXAS but refusing to accept a "twang" in our speech? :roll:

26% (Yankee) You are a Yankee Doodle Dandy. Should be, Connecticut ancestors go back to the 1600's. Haven't left the notheast for more than a couple of vacations in my life.

Placed a phone order with a company in TX last year and when I gave my address as NJ the guy I was speaking with said "NJ? But you have a CT accent!" For a second there I felt like Eliza Doolittle, and wondered if he was going to tell me what town and neighborhood! :lol:
