A little test about how you talk.

That was fun and also very accurate. This surprised me, because I thought I had a lot of variety in dialect from living and spending time in many different areas. Thanks for sharing. I sent the link to a few other people.

Wow, this is revealing! I think I'm a language disaster! I came out with Jackson, mobile and Tallahassee . All three are Deep South. I spent the first 26 yrs in New England , the next 24 yrs in texas ( Dfw), and the last 12 yrs in Pennsylvania. I guess I'm a linguistic fraud! Lol, i knew i was a mess! So much fun to take. Thanks.

Born and raised in Indiana, the map says I talk like a kentuckian. Could be that both my parents were born there. I've had people ask me what part of the south I come from. As a child the school system didn't like my southern draw and put me speech therapy. But to tell you the truth ya'll, I don't reckon it did one iota a good for me.

I am amazed. I was born in Rochester, NY moving to upstate NY in my youth. In 1980 I traveled to NC and while shopping, a clerk asked me if I came from Rochester, NY. I answered yes, how did you know? She said my accent!

Thank you -- my family really enjoyed the test -- we are all from the South -- me and my son from the Deep South and my husband from SE South -- this seems to reflect where our ancestors were from -- also it might reflect local tv and word choice of family and neighbors when growing up -- we enjoyed talking about results and the questions (some of the choices could be better) -- thanks again
