Where is your (US) dialect from?

[Dannnno]

http://spark.rstudio.com/jkatz/DialectQuiz/ - It can be pretty slow getting on the site and getting through it, it gets lots of traffic

 

 

Fun thing I found while researching some stuff about linguistics for a class.  Its actually fairly accurate at placing where you were born/grew up, or at least where your parents grew up.  

 

 

It seems to really like Michigan for me, although the Iowa/Southern Minnesota is still clearly a fairly likely choice.  How about the rest of you? Can it match up well?

mfw. This is pretty accurate considering that I have lived primarily on the west coast.

[MinyBoy5]

 

This is not very accurate since I've been to the west coast and I do not sound quite like them. However, I do live in Minnesota so there must be some truth there.

>hey what town are you born and raised in

uh, Boston why

>hey I bet your dialect is that of a Bostonian

 

 

whoa

Dialects in Vermont are kind of hit or miss when it comes to different parts of the state even, so lolidunno

[Dratini]

This came out really spot on for me, I'm shocked

Like look at dat Lawng Oisland

and New Joisee

besides a few words I twist without realizing it bc my dad has an English accent and I picked up on some of it ;-;

My dialect differs, I use multiple words for the same thing and my pronunciation of different words are interchangeable. Like for example, I pronounce aunt in two different ways and this change isn't dependent on how it's used but how I feel. There's no option for that. I've lived in many different places and that's likely the cause.

I do the same with words like either and neither.

 

Also Chuckie Boston Masterrace reporting in.

I took the liberty of getting a map like the rest of you.

 

 

It's fairly accurate considering the places I've been to. Although it would be better if the northeast was more yellow-orange.

Am I American now?

[londark]

Did it just for fun

 

[Mariah]

As a New Yorker, i'm generally disgusted by the locations my dialect is most similar with, and that where i'm actually from is the 3rd most similar. /:

 

[Bimps1002]

oh yeah i did this

[Kelarr]

Am I American now?

 

Mainely

[Nodak]

All you non Americans need to GTFO

 

[spoiler]srs[spoiler]but its actually kind of interesting, so not srs[/spoiler][/spoiler]

[lillyfly]

nvm, got it to work. What state is LA?

[Dannnno]

LA is Louisiana

[controller]

 

after i answered some of them i was kicking myself because i answered incorrectly.  like i never order take-out or carry-out, i order pick up so i should've picked other.  it was spot on regardless.  most similar #1 is my shire, most similar #5 is basically where i live now.

 

i was pretty surprised at what was least similar though.  how do people in connecticut talk?

[Soothe]

that's actually a little accurate but it's weird that i don't really share parts of my mom's dialect and that none of my most similar dialects are in the state that i actually live in.

[majorharper]

Blimey, it's spot on. Ya'll
