Dialect Quiz

This is pretty cool! It tests your language usage, not accent.

I just did the short test, but may do the longer one tonight. I am such a pittsburgher in my word choice!

  • I did the short one, too. No surprises here! Philly is most similar to my dialect at 54.3 with a few cities in NJ coming in 2, 3, and 4 (considering I grew up with a mom from NY/NJ, I can't be surprised).

    Mine comes up as Texas for sure.  Oklahoma City as well.  I was born and raised in TX.  I was least similar to places up north, like CT, PA, and NJ.

    ETA:  Here were mine, though I am pretty sure they spelled McKinney wrong...unless they are referring to a different city I have never heard of!

  • Yay, it finally worked! I'm not surprised for the most part, considering I grew up in NJ... I was somewhat surprised to see Toms River (south Jersey), since they have a completely different accent than northerners. And CT; really? I had tried to tone down my NY/NJ accent in the past, so I guess it worked!

  • I grew up in Central Illinois, until I was 22, and Saint Louis since then. I think this is pretty accurate! I can't wait for DH to get home so I can have him take this. Even though we grew up less than 2 hours from each other, I say some things way different than he does. I came from a community that was mostly farming, and he grew up in the city.
