Take this accent test and see what part of the nation you belong to.

Your way of speaking strongly reflects and influences your culture, how do you think this affects your political affiliation?
Gomer Pyle checking in from the other thread.
My accent reflects my culture, which is non-SJW realistic liberals with blue collar Irish immigrant culture dominating.

I had a conversation with another southerner recently about how we pronounce hog, dog, log, frog, fog, etc.
most of us say "fahg" for all of them except dog is "dawg". I feel like a total phony when i say "dahg", whereas hawg sounds like a complete moron.
AZanon here, pretty good test
>>77721817
what is distinctive about arizona? I used to have co-workers in phoenix and they sounded neutral to me.
>>77721941
no fucking clue, the test knows what it is apparently
>>77722064
It's less the accent and more the words you use for different things.
>>77721158
>Your way of speaking strongly reflects and influences your culture, how do you think this affects your political affiliation?
I don't agree with this, in general, except when people from different areas interact sometimes one will think the other sounds unintelligent.
I think Bernie would have done better in the primaries if he had a less-pronounced accent.
>>77722529
It is verifiable fact that the words you use affects the way you think. Your higher order thinking is a semantic network.
>>77722495
>It's less the accent and more the words you use for different things.
I'm surprised it didn't include "pie" for pizza. I can't stand to hear that; to me a pie is a sweet dish.
On the other hand I grew up referring to soft drinks as "cokes", which is pretty retarded.
what did they mean by this?
fugg, am I a cuck?
>>77722759
Looks like Wisconsin and upstate New York best reflect the dialect of whatever part of Britain you're from, I assume England.
>>77722789
>fugg, am I a cuck?
No, but if you ever visit america you will be welcomed in that area, and some other areas will treat you like an invader.
>>77722859
I have a mix of accents, I was born in Russia lived there until 9, moved to Swtizerland for 4 years and now living in UK for about 7/8 years.
Interesting. I love these kinda of linguistic tests
>>77723150
Some of my favorite accents are blends like that. Maybe it's because you have an accent that's practically unique.
I have a vietnamese friend who was born in america to vietnamese immigrants, and she has the strangest accent ever, but she sounds amazing.
>>77723234
Was it accurate?
Pretty accurate. I live about 20 minutes from Santa Ana and a lot of my family is from Michigan.
I was born and raised here in commiefornia, but nobody I converse with believes me when I say that. Most everyone thinks I come from strange parts (areas include the southern states, britain, new zealand, australia).
I just don't geddit.

It got it right in that it guessed Utah, but that it guessed it mainly because I call them potato bugs is kind of weird.
I don't think it affects my political affiliation though, because I have an accent that nobody can really place. No matter where I am in the country, people think I talk weird. Even where I grew up.
>>77726046
it would be I-110, like I-40, I-95 and I-85 and I-77
>>77725434
I'm certain it did not ask me that. I'm in NC where we don't have any animals like that, so I wonder if the test DOES use your IP location to a degree.

I'm seriously starting to think your IP plays a part. I know that some people in New Orleans have that creole thing going, but where in the test was that asked? Unless they gave you different questions, like that mountain lion one that they don't seem to ask everybody.
Pretty fucking creepy how accurate this is, I have been in Alaska for 15 years but I lived near Aurora for most of my childhood.
I would have been impressed that they just got it down to Colorado, or Denver. But so specific as Aurora, fucking creepy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemonade
"Most lemonade varieties can be separated into two distinct types: cloudy, and clear, each known simply as "lemonade" in countries where dominant. Cloudy lemonade, generally found in North America and India, is a traditionally homemade drink made with lemon juice, water, and sweetened with cane sugar or honey. Found in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand, clear lemonade is a lemon, or lemon-lime flavored, carbonated soft drink.
The earliest written evidence of lemonade has been found in Egypt, dated to around 1000 AD, It is believed that the fruit was introduced from Asia around 700 AD. Here, a wine made with lemons, dates, and honey was enjoyed by peasants, and bottles of lemon juice with sugar, known as qatarmizat were imported and consumed locally.
In 1676, a company known as Compagnie de Limonadiers was founded in Paris. Having been granted monopoly rights to sell lemonade, vendors roamed the streets serving the drink in cups from tanks on their backs.
The first reference found to a carbonated lemonade was in 1833."
