I think I've read too much or known too many people from outside of my region. That quiz gave me cities I'd either never been to or simply drove through.

I'm Scots, speak Doric which is old English and Gaelic and a few other languages, and if I even write the pronunciation of our words here you still would not match to what is written hahaha

Bennachie = Ben a hee

Day-ta, root and sih-rup! I think it's a county thing too though. I've never heard anyone say rowt or seerup in the uk. In fact, when I heard those words spoken in American TV I had to put subtitles on to work out what they were!

Translation from east Texas dialect: I think I'm gonna go wash some squash and then I'll ask my mama if she'll cook them for me.

I'll leave this quiz here. This thread is reminding me of it! It was based on linguistic research or something along those lines. It's fun to look through all the other options... Definitely never heard some of them before!

The quiz pegged me for Buffalo or Rochester N.Y.
I grew up in Tor-on-o so that's pretty close.
