      New England English is more similar to British English (at least in comparison to most US English), so it makes sense it would be the closest to Australian or South African English. Like they still use the word “carriage” commonly

      I’m also Norwegian and got a very similar map, though with more emphasis on a New York dialect. I’m guessing it has to do with our English being heavily influenced by popular media, in which the midwest might have less vocal presence.

      This is so weird, how is it even possible to talk like a New Yorker, Californian, and Floridian all at once?! No Americans got anything close to this.

      Curious about your answers. In theory I should’ve gotten Minneapolis as most similar and ended up with Vegas, followed by LA. Granted I only did the 24 question one

        I did the 60 question one and if I remember correctly it told me that my answers of crayfish and that a freeway has no traffic lights or stop signs but a highway does were the biggest factors for why it picked MN.

          I did in fact have those two as well, I’ll have to try the longer ones and see what’s up.

          Update: did the 60, got San Fran, so apparently I live in the wrong region.

          Update 2: did the 122, apparently I have to move to San Francisco

      Did you have the “roof, room, broom, root aren’t pronounced the same” giveaway? Also firefly, pop, sunshower, and freeway is faster than highway.

    Philadelphian who has also lived in Florida. This worked better than I expected, given my accent can be eclectic.

    I am from Idaho initially, grew up there. Now I have lived in Oregon for nearly 15 years.

    Apparently I talk like I am from Maryland, somewhere I have never been.
