Can this place guess where you live based on your speech?
    #19381422 - 01/07/14 09:09 AM (10 years, 24 days ago)

http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2013/12/20/sunday-review/dialect-quiz-map.html?ref=us&_r=1&

I've lived in the ND/MN region my whole life but it put my in Seattle, Tacoma, and Reno. This aside, some people I know had it guess theirs right down to the exact city.

I also tried making one as absurd as possible and it put me in St. Louis.

It gave me one suburb less than 7 miles away. Chicago area is pretty distinctive language wise.

    I think gym shoe is more generational, and supper/dinner is more social class than geography.

They should include the UK, NZ and Aus.

I got New York appearently.

I still have the slight remains of a west Sydney accent though...

All my individual answers were pretty much all over the place. The averaging distilled NY out of that but I know for a fact that I sound nowhere near a New Yorker.

Said I was from Rockford IL. I'm way north of Illinois but I did live in Chicago for most of my childhood, so that probably explains it. :shrug:

lol House shoes?

I suppose this map illustrates the beginning of how language must have changed in the past. Maybe different areas form different ways of saying different things and since they're more isolated in the past it eventually develops into something different - accents and words.

It guessed west coast or southeastern Wisconsin, the second was right. Apparently only people on the west coast call them "fireflies"?

Pretty impressive, got to within 10 miles of where I live. It said Springfield, Massachusetts and that's 10 miles to the north of where I live. Also said Madison, Wisconsin and Rochester, New York.
