Creepy :)

Our top three guesses for your English dialect:

1. US Black Vernacular / Ebonics 2. American (Standard) 3. Canadian - See more at: http://www.gameswithwords.org/WhichEnglish/#sthash.yDkuaast....

Our top three guesses for your native (first) language:

1. Dutch 2. English 3. Norwegian - See more at: http://www.gameswithwords.org/WhichEnglish/#sthash.yDkuaast....

And yes: I'm Dutch.



I'm Dutch as well, and I got:

1. American (Standard) 2. US Black Vernacular / Ebonics 3. Singaporean

1. English 2. Dutch 3. Swedish

I think it's cool that my English is good enough for it to judge me a native speaker, while it still has enough information to see similarities to other Dutch people who took the quiz. Swedes' English is quite good as well, so that makes sense as a third guess.

No idea where "US Black Vernacular / Ebonics" and "Singaporean" are coming from, however. I'd be interested to see which choices exactly make my English similar to those dialects.
