I don’t do these often, but I found this kind of interesting:
Your Linguistic Profile: |

I grew up in Central Illinois, but spent many summers in Georgia with my Dad who worked for Lockheed and Martin Marietta there. The legacy of both continues. Of course, I’ll be heading to Greene County for the weekend with the relatives where pop is soda.
Weird man, I got:
50% General American English
30% Yankee
15% Dixie
5% Upper Midwestern
0% Midwestern
And I’ve spent almost no time in Dixie. Grew up in Central IL.
I’ll go with weird as well. I grew up in Chicago, spent no time in the East, spent about three years in the South (by that I mean Franklin County, Illinois!) and I get:
65% General American English
25% Yankee
10% Upper Midwest
0% Dixie
0% Midwest
25% Yankee?!! You can’t get there from here!
