Interesting. I got to take the test — finally! And here are my results in terms of the cities with which I have common dialect characteristics:

1 Elizabeth NJ 57.1
2 Toms River NJ 56.7
3 Newark NJ 56.6
4 Baltimore MD 56.3
5 Yonkers NY 56.2

I grew up in Baltimore County, but both of my parents were from Philadelphia, so I guess that explains my NJ influences. The Yonkers angle is puzzling, but my mother’s mother came from near Wilkes-Barre, PA, so perhaps that explains that part.

Interesting exercise, but it sure takes a long time to process your answer compared to how fast most Internet traffic is. Or maybe it’s just my connection....
