What countries have most influenced the way you speak? Take this test designed by MIT researchers and find out.
Take this test, guys! It determines what dialect you speak (if your native language is English) and which country you are from (if English isn’t your first language!).
It is an algorithm which maps out the differences in English grammar around the world.
Hmmm. Well, it got my dialect correct (English (England)) but it also guessed my first language was English (Romanian and Hungarian were the other guesses). So clearly some work still to be done on that front.
Dialect: 1. US Black Vernacular / Ebonics
2. Australian
3. New ZealandishNative language: 1. Hungarian
2. German
3. English
I’m a boring American (Standard) English girl, so they got that. Full results:
Our top three guesses for your English dialect:
1. American (Standard)
2. Canadian
3. US Black Vernacular / EbonicsOur top three guesses for your native (first) language:
1. English
2. Norwegian
3. SwedishI wonder what I did to make them suspect Ebonics. And Norwegian/Swedish? – I have zero connection to N.EU.
Perhaps it always makes three guesses? I can see how you’d guess AAVE over (for example) UK English for me. I know far more black Americans that UK folks.
I’m guessing there were one or two sentences that are correct in Ebonics that you marked as correct, and everything past your first choice is pretty much equally unlikely. @cyborgbutterflies @multiheaded1793 @sinesalvatorem I wanna see you guys take this.
Our top three guesses for your English dialect:
- US Black Vernacular / Ebonics
- New Zealandish
- Singaporean
Our top three guesses for your native (first) language:
- Romanian
- German
- English
Didn’t exactly expect that, apart from german in the first language choice.
