What does the way you speak say about where you’re from? Answer all the questions below to see your personal dialect map. (http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2013/12/20/sunday-review/dialect-quiz-map.html?_r=0)


I apparently sound like I'm from Yonkers/Buffalo/New York

The catty-corner question needs a heat map for Elanthia.

Also, everyone knows surveys are crap, therefore anything this says is crap. Libtard.

Most: Yonkers, Newark, NYC BABY.
Least: Minnie, Des Moines, Spokane (:heart: Tisket)

Mine gave me Montgomery/Louisville/Columbus - the two last for using yard sale and the first because I use service road. Although on the "service road" map, Long Island is way darker "most similar" red, so it probably should've selected there instead...

Mine came out particularly accurate...

6062

I lived in Texas for most of my 'formative years' (9-15 years old), lived in northern california for 10 years, and lived in northern virginia for 8 years. Map reflects that pretty well, all things considered.

Minneapolis/St Paul, Spokane, and Salt Lake City.

If more questions had multiple answers acceptable, I think the results would have been a little different since I've lived in the Midwest and on both coasts. That said, I am a Minnesotan at heart, so it tagged me pretty well.

Modesto, Reno, and Salt Lake City.

I grew up near Modesto, CA so that is accurate. I have also lived in Truckee, CA which is near Reno. Although I have lived on both coasts as well, back and forth from NYC to CA, my dialect shows where I was raised most of my life. Neat-O.

Anchorage? I've never even been to Alaska. Guess I should move.

Spokane, Salt Lake City and Boise......
That is pretty damn close, I grew up in Seattle and live in Coeur d Alene

Baltimore, Arlington, VA, and Winston-Salem

Nailed the Maryland thing but also the redneck ways of the mountainous area I grew up in. Crazy.
