I'm hoping for one that uses a spoken sample, but that's like orders of magnitude more sophisticated and a lot to want, really.

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

I'd like to see an accent/dialect test that covers all English speaking regions, not just the US.

When I get in a quizzy mood I look for stuff like that, but I've not had any luck yet.  To cover all the English-speaking world would make a hell of an exhaustive quiz with regards to data-gathering if it was to be accurate at all.  Not to mention the idea of spoken samples... t'would be quite a feat.

I think they did make some effort to include non-US English speakers as some of my answers came up as not being used anywhere on the map.

Yeah, mine too.  Though it would have been nice if it was a world map instead of just a US map.

I probably would have gotten at least a few British red spots if so.

So, I got Miami, Boston, and San Francisco. I need to consider the possibility that I speak really weird.

At first I got New Orleans, Washington DC and New York, but with strong red spots in south Florida and Hawaii. Therefore it is unsurprising that the second I took the quiz I got Honolulu, Miami and San Jose.

I got Grand Rapids, MI, Rockford, IL and Madison WI.

I am not surprised that GR is my strongest spot as I live there.

I tried to find a Canadian dialect/accent quiz, but nothing turned up. I did find this, though: http://www.gotoquiz.com/how_canadian_are_you_1

100%. Sweet.

I found a British accent one.

http://www.gotoquiz.com/results/which_british_accent_do_you_have_1

It's not very accurate though. It said I was 77% chav, which I can assure you is NOT true.

Which British accent do you have?
Your Result: Chavvy!

Well, damn.

I'm 10% Canuck.

In the British accent one, I got 80% Normal.  (I'm assuming that's kinda like received pronunciation, or broadcast standard?)
My second highest rating was Chavvy (68%), so... take from that what you will.


What the heck am I?  :p
