I speak SlimPickenese, sorta the way Robert Duvall has learned to talk. It comes naturally to us in rural AZ.

I’m a native Californian, but the last time I took one of these linguistic tests, it pegged me in the dead center of the Midwest. Probably a remnant of my Army brat upbringing.

Yeah. Real interesting. You can really pick out Atlanta in Georgia and Charlotte region in NC. Just purely on his language testing.

Wouldnt an interactive sound data test be wonderful?
Id like to know how much of My Midwest Accent I have lost...since moving to God Forsake Northern California... forty some years ago.

The map shows that the New Orleans “Yat” accent is similar to other southern dialects. IT IS NOT. It’s closer to a Brooklyn accent. And the Cajun dialect is also a different story!

I’m told that Brown Broadcasting Institute in Minneapolis will cure just about any accent...
