What kind of American English do you speak?

September 25, 2006

I’m sure many people know this already. Anyways, here’s my results:

***Your Linguistic Profile:***

45% General American English

30% Yankee

15% Dixie

5% Upper Midwestern

0% Midwestern

My accent so far as I’m aware is Americanized British — or Britishized American, a la Johnny Depp — so I can see where the 30% Yankee (Northeastern U.S.) comes from but 15% Dixie? Heh, I didn’t even know what Dixie was until I looked it up on the net (it means Southern U.S., fyi).
