    What kind of English I speak

    26th December 2006

    Generally I try to speak British English, West London dialect. Well, I tried at school – now much more Americanisms can be spotted in my speech.

    I came across the test which tries to find out what kind of American English you speak. Here are my results:

    45% General American English
    30% Yankee
    10% Dixie
    10% Upper Midwestern
    0% Midwestern

    Looks like my British English is quite a mix of American English dialects :)
