What's your (American) dialect?
« on: September 08, 2013, 02:58:27 PM »
Found this posted on Facebook, it's a 140 question (25 if you want it shorter) quiz to place which area of the US your speech matches.

Here's the quiz.

Here's my results, I'm very very Californian (matching NorCal speech specifically) but apparently I speak Minnesotan too.

I've taken that quiz before...I am a mixing of Midwestern and Southern.  Makes since, as I'm from South Carolina but now live in Michigan :)

I live in a mint greenish area of WI on your map, kinda below the thumb. We do not have a strong accent/drawl here. However, you can tell when someone is generally from an hour away from here in any direction...
I fall into the midwest; joliet, il being best match, but green bay is in my top 5 and I'm not far from there..

It wasn't loading for me earlier in the day. Am in the middle of taking it right now (140 question version). And will report back.

Should be interesting because I was born and have lived mostly in southern Cali and now northern Cali. While my family is from the south and Midwest.

Most of my map turned out to be orange but it is dark red where Illinois, Missouri, and Iowa meet.

My most similar cites are
Peoria IL    38.5
Olathe KS    38.5
Springfield IL    38.5
Reno NV    38.4
Overland Park KS    38.4

And my least similar are
Metairie LA    33.1
New Orleans LA    33.1
Baton Rouge LA    33.3
Lafayette LA    33.4
Jackson MS    33.7

I guess I'm just a huge mixture of the entire country :blush:

Funny it paired me with northern states and one of my least likely matches was New Orleans Louisiana. I'm from West Monroe. :lol:

My map was red to dark red for most of the West and into the plain states.
 Top three cities where Fort Collins and Denver (C0) plus Riverside,CA.
Bottom three (with little to no matches) where all in NY and NJ. Ironic because while I do have family there (on my father's side), I've had the least amount of contact with them.

Shoot! It's not up anymore. This would've been a cool quiz to take.

Darn, wanted to try the 140-question one later and see what I got. 

I did manage to get the short version to load yesterday and my map looked pretty similar to yours Corona, with probably a bit more extension of the red into the Midwest.

Which is kind of weird, considering I've lived all my life in VT and NH... :blink:
