jasignhagj Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Give this quiz a try and post your results below. I'm curious how accurate it is for OTers outside the US/Canadahttp://www.gameswithwords.org/WhichEnglish/ My three closest dialects were Canadian English, US Standard English and Singaporean English, and it guessed my native tongue was English, Norwegian or Dutch.

Estonian dude Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Dialect:1. American (Standard)2. US Black Vernacular / Ebonics3. Singaporean Mother tongue:1. Norwegian2. Swedish3. English Considering that I speak English as my second language and Norwegian as my third, not too surprising.Estonian has too little of a sample size there, I'm fairly certain. So I've noticed this thread's regulars all follow similar trends. RPG is constantly dealing with psycho exes.Muggi reminds us of the joys of polygamy.Saq is totally oblivious to how much chicks dig him.I strike out every other week.Kalphite wages a war against the friend zone.Randox pretty much stays rational.Etc, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imperator Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Dialect: I. SingaporeanII. AustralianIII. Welsh (U.K.) Fairly accurate, I use Australian/British vocabulary although one could consider my accent to be American. (I have an American father) First Language: I. ArabicII. ChineseIII. Italian Interesting correlations; fact that I grew up in the middle-east (predominately Arabic speaking) could conclude why the algorithm believed I am a native Arabic speaker. Also, ethnically my two parents are of Italian ancestry and are still very much attuned to Italian culture e.g. speaks the language at home.

Sy_Accursed Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Our top three guesses for your English dialect:1. Welsh (UK)2. English (England)3. Australian Our top three guesses for your native (first) language:1. English2. Chinese3. Swedish Interesting - since its only broken the UK down into countries, instead of counties, Welsh would sort of make sense as the Norfolk region dialect is closer to Welsh dialect than it is to proper Queen's English - which I assume is what they took to be English (England). And again there are similarities between Welsh and Aussie dialect. For native languages I have no idea how they landed anywhere.
