Your Linguistic Profile: 70% General American English 15% Upper Midwestern 15% Yankee 0% Dixie 0% Midwestern
It's a very interesting test though, because it doesn't distinguish between Californian and "General American English" and, although it's probably closer to the general, because of the whole movie business, I think there are still differences. And what about NewYorker? Is their linguistic profile yankee? (those are rhetorical questions, btw, unless you happen to know then answers).
