Where are you from?--language test

[ploto]

All of mine are in Texas (Arlington, Ft. Worth, and Irving). Given that I have lived my entire life in Texas, that is not so bad; however, I have never lived near any of those cities.

[ginobili's bald spot]

Modesto and Fresno, CA, both because I say "firefly," and Boise, ID because I say "kitty-corner."

Modesto and Fresno both make sense since my parents both grew up in central California and I obviously picked up a lot of my speech patterns from them. I've never even set foot in Boise, though.

I got Modesto too. Along with Corona and Santa Rosa. I guess that means I have a general California accent. Of course New Orleans is my least similar since I speak English.

I guess surveys dont lie.

Mine lied to me . Said I was from Irving / San Antonio. I was born and raised in Queens. My parents are from the DFW area tho. So maybe I got my speech from them.

Mannnnn, whatever!!! said Reno...I'm from
newyawkkk, B.

[Kyle Orton]

I got plano/Irving/mobile

really accurate tbh, I'm from McKinney which is 10-15 mjn away from plano

[Mugen]

Mine were Long Beach (CA), Glendale (CA) Whattup spurraider21, and Corona (CA) how apropos.

Ditto except I got Santa Clarita instead of Long Beach which is even more accurate since I grew up in the SFV.

I take offense to Corona since I don't do meth nor am I an Armenian living in Glendale...

Also, the only time I call a freeway a highway is on the drive to Vegas tbh.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

I got Chandler/Scottsdale which is basically Phoenix, pretty accurate.

[Blizzardwizard]

I'm English and live in England and got New York. Guess it makes some sense as it's probably the nearest major city to England..

Also

"car-mel"

[Chinook]

Ugh! I got three NY/NJ cities. At least Austin was in the "warm" category. I speak nothing like a Northeaster. I demand a recount.

You should take it as a compliment tbh. Sounds to me you speak very eloquently.

Good for you.

Lol. Thanks, but I'm fine being a Southerner. I think that test is outdated.

[lefty]

Seattle
Tacoma
Madison

Esp with all the media available these days, you can hear everything.

[dirk4mvp]

Little Rock, Jackson, and Columbus Ga tbh

I don't care those n¥ggers etc

[z0sa]

Aced it - San Antonio, Austin, Fort Worth. I've spent considerable time in the former two.

Surprisingly accurate: I got Baltimore (birthplace), D.C. (lived there too), and St. Louis. Never lived in the StL though.

Think about where your parents are from and it might make a bit more sense.

Some of the things like catty-corner and crawdad are words I got from my Mom, who is from Iowa, even though I am from Wyoming.

[helwardman]

It says I'm from Jackson, Philadelphia or Newark. I'm from England and live in Louisiana.
