Apparently Northern, but I was confused for some questions. I've lived in Florida since at least 2001, before that I only spoke Spanish. I would've thought for certain I would've gotten a Southern accent, of course I do live in Orlando, everyone speaks a reasonable range of different American accents here.

I lived in Orlando for 20+ years, and got Western (mostly neutral). In my experience, Floridians south of Jacksonville do not speak with a southern accent.

Well, Central Floridians, if you get between Orlando and Miami... Like Okeechobee you hear some fun accents. But I guess that's a fair assessment. It's funny to me cause my wife is from Miami and says I have a "Puerto Rican accent" but most people from Orlando don't say I do, must be when I butcher my English now and then or she's just messing with me and doing a good job at it.
