A little test about how you talk.
I took this test as did my husband.
My dialect was mainly from the DFW area in Texas. His was in the Riverside/Corona area in Southern Cali. See where you land...... http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2...018080000b0008 |
This was too wild!
I lived in the Denver area for 20 years and in the Omaha area for around 5 years...all while I was growing up and early adulthood. I haven't lived there in over 20 years yet it indicated the exact areas I was from. I've lived in Kentucky for over 20 years and others tell me I don't sound like I'm from the south. These were right on for me...pretty wild for sure. |
Hmmm Bay area of California. I never lived there.
|
said I come from yonkers ny, or the tri state area. I come from long island, the little fishy island off of new york
|
I landed right where I am - Salt Lake City. I've lived in Utah all my life so that makes sense.
|
Mine said Rockford, IL, Wichita, KA, and Aurora, IL.. LOL I'm originally from Iowa. Its all Midwest. It was fun taking the test, thanks Chasing Hawk.

My husband was told he was from either Denver or Albuquerque. He lives in the Denver area (with me) and was raised in Albuquerque (where I met him). Two of my kids took it and was told exactly where they live. I, on the other hand, was told that I either lived in Lincoln, NE Omaha NE or Wichita KS. I haven't ever been to any of these places. It was fun though!
|
All three if mine were off - Salt Lake City, Spokane and Millwaukie. And I was born in Wellington KS, grew up in Seattle WA and have lived in San Diego CA area for over 40 years.

It was very accurate for me as well (Boston area). I remember, many years ago, seeing a quiz in Yankee Magazine that would narrow it down to what part of New England you came from. For instance, is it a pancake, a johnnycake, or a flapjack?

That was fun! Thanks!
