What's your (American) dialect?

[Bow Tie]

I'm glad I finally for a chance to do it last night. My results:

Most Similar Cities:
1. Milwaukee, WI - 37.1
2. New Haven, CT - 37.0
3. St. Louis, MO - 36.9
4. Green Bay, WI - 36.9
5. Waterbury, CT - 36.9


Least Similar Cities:
1. Huntsville, AL - 33.6
2. Little Rock, AR - 34.0
3. Chattanooga, TN - 34.0
4. Birmingham, AL - 34.1
5. New Orleans, LA - 34.2

I'm confused why they put two WI cities when my map was blue/green around that area. I'm surprised that a Florida city wasn't in the top 5 since Florida is deep dark red on the map. I'm not surprised Florida is red, I speak Disney.

Lol Bow Tie, my city is your third least similar.

Awwwe I wanted to take it! 
I do know my accent is very Mississippi though.  Well when it's active anyway (i.e. tired, mad, or drunk).  I can very easily detect the accents of fellow Mississippians and even pinpoint the regions.

It's gone for me, but I know I have a solid Michigan accent. High whiney A's and whatnot.

Though these particular maps identify where I grew up, in Detroit:

Roly Poly - #74
And "What do you call the night before Halloween" #110

Those are totally me. Devils Night and Roly Polys, lol

However, I have recently learned that a lot of the words and phrases used by my family aren't normally mid-western.  That's the only thing I can think of....

I want to take it!  It keeps saying it is down for me.

Okay it worked!  Places me in four cities in Wisconsin.  I've never lived there.  But I moved around a lot so many my answers were confusing.  Many times I could have picked more than one option.

[happycootie]

Sigh... it worked until question 135 of 140 for me 

Edit: It worked the second time Wow, this was spot on for me! Grew up a bit west of Cleveland and moved to Toledo after college.

Finally got it to work. I'm a born and raised Wisconsinite but apparently I sound like I'm from New York or Connecticut. Neat! Side note, my best friend is from Louisiana and half the time we don't know what the other is saying. I guess this explains why

I live on the Alabama coast, so pretty close for me! But when I had a phone job & talked to people from all over, most said I didn't have a Southern accent at all, when they asked where I was from.

I'm a little surprised at the AZ cities but I'm from Sacramento, CA so Fresno and even Visalia make sense I suppose. I've always figured I sounded very NorCal but know I've picked up a few odd phrases/pronunciations from my Dad, who lived many years in Chicago, and my German Great Grandmother. I love these sort of surveys! Fun!
