American English Dialects - A Quiz

clipboard iconHere's a link to a quick, 20-item quiz that is supposed to assess regional American dialects. The quiz was developed from the results of the Harvard Computer Society Dialect Survey of 30,788 respondents.

Try it. (No cheating!!)

The Yankee - Dixie Quiz

I came out 46% Yankee. How about you?

I did the test even though I am not American. So some of questions answers weren't really relevant to me.
52% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category.

Although I don't know what Dixie is?

LOL, Claire. Dixie refers to the southeastern United States, where they eat cornbread and grits and say "y'all." (How's that for stereotyping??)
