As an Australian this was interesting.

As an Australian this was interesting.
I'm norwegian and got the complete opposite from the map of americans who actually originate from my country, lol.

I'm also Norwegian and got a very similar map, though with more emphasis on a New York dialect. I'm guessing it has to do with our English being heavily influenced by popular media, in which the midwest might have less vocal presence.
apparently norwegians are just more american than swedes in general

This is so weird, how is it even possible to talk like a New Yorker, Californian, and Floridian all at once?! No Americans got anything close to this.
I don't want to dox myself, but it definitely guessed the exact city I live in. I will not answer further questions.
Apparently this is the "Vermont" accent map. Live in the Great Lakes region, so ok.
Philadelphian who has also lived in Florida. This worked better than I expected, given my accent can be eclectic.

My answers, unshockingly, reflected my region, but this question made me laugh pretty good. I dont know why lol "um akshully, Icing and frosting are different". This was my answer anyway

'Roof, room, broom, and root aren't all pronounced the same' was enough to know I'm from Minnesota lol
Despite me not being from the US, it was still as accurate as it could possibly be. I’m on Vancouver Island, nestled right in that notch in the northwestern corner of Washington.


It do be accurate
Grew up in Philly, but it guessed Delaware, so super close. But it did say my next closest city was Philadelphia. It's interesting because I went to school for radio and spent a ton of time working on my diction and pronunciation, and yet it was the little things I never would have realized I say that still got these results spot on.
I'm from South Africa but don't speak in a very stereotypical South African accent, and I got "Massachusetts".

Got me pretty good. I am a little surprised my biggest giveaways were word choice not pronunciation, but I was only 56% similar (which was also weird) so i guess there weren't too many to choose from. I was also about as similar to San Francisico and LA as I was to Salt Lake City UT, did not realize those cities spoke so similarly.

It missed by a couple of states, but it's close-ish. Some of those questions are wild, like whatever bullshit word people use for lighting bugs or fireflies that is neither of those two. Sambo niggles or some such a thing.
Edit: Peenie Wallies? Just call them double dick bugs 😆

Mom was from Michigan, Dad was from L.A. I grew up in California. Early questions nailed me in Michigan, later questions shifted to PNW. I feel like I don't have an accent, since everyone on TV and in movies talks like I do. My mom said "pop" instead of soda, and I grew up saying "pop", but switched to soda when everyone around me was saying that. I answered "pop" to the question, knowing that was a big differentiator.
I wonder if any questions would have shifted the map further south.

I guess mine is pretty solidly midwestern.
You and @Memnochian@aussie.zone have to fight now
Apparently I'm from Vermont!
Maybe.
It was only a 50 percent chance.
(I'm not from Vermont, have never lived in Vermont, and have no relatives from Vermont.)
51% generic Hollywood accent.

Well, judging by the state's soft power, it's not that surprising but it does not narrow much.


Not from Kansas, but it’s not far off either. I bet its idea of a St. Louis accent is based on the old St. Louis accent that is common among older people but very rare among anyone under 50. Although there were no questions that asked about “fork” versus “fark”, “fourty” vs “farhty”, “soda” vs “sodee”, etc. It may just not have much of an idea of that dialect built into it
We use the same words. I wonder what differentiates from IN which is actually right for me.
Not on the quiz of course, but one major difference between MO and IN is that “Hoosier” is a positive term in IN but a pejorative term in MO.
Once upon a time a bunch of people from Indiana moved to Missouri, and apparently they were not well liked. So hoosier is like the MO equivalent of calling someone a redneck
Surprised there was no bury/berry/bary question. Sooo many people pronounce it wrong 😁
Despite my kiwi heritage 🇳🇿 I'm from Rhode Island, apparently.
Many years ago I went on a solo road trip around California. I spotted a man pulled over by the side of the road looking upset, and stopped to see if I could help. He asked me to find a pay phone and call his friend to tell him "Jack is out of gas" and give his location.
I swear I was on the phone for a good ten minutes trying to make myself understood. It makes sense now. Rhode Island is a loooong way from California.

I have no Italian ancestry but I'm culturally Italian by way of my home state. 
I am from Idaho initially, grew up there. Now I have lived in Oregon for nearly 15 years.
Apparently I talk like I am from Maryland, somewhere I have never been.

My state was wrong, but close enough, my region was spot on, my city was 100% correct
