And what does your accent/vocabulary sound like?

[Eol Sha]

I think I have a pretty flat accent. Certainly not "country" or "urban" black.

[Verenigde Staten van Amerika]

I speak with a New York accent, but with a little bit of Irish mixed in. (My dad is from Ireland and I visit my family there often)

Derbyshire flat? West Country flat? Essex flat? Midlands flat?

[Risottia]

Hey, I'm a Northern weirdo and I call them shopping carts!

Speaking of shopping carts and trolleys, what do you guys call the old electrical trains that ran through city streets before widespread use of the bus?

"Old"?

Anyway, it's a tram car (or just tram) running on a tramway.

those would be Trams sometimes called Trolley Buses

but generally any unpowered small push cart is a Trolley thus:
you go to a supermarket pushing a Shopping Trolley
when you need to carry something at work you load it on a Trolley
for fun you can also ride a home made Trolley car
or even pull a childs Toy Trolley

[Romaian]

A tram, of course.

What about parallel road for pedestrians at the sides of the carriageway?

I call it pavement.

I got California.. Even though it's not at all similar to my accent

I wish there was more than just American.. I actually saw one that included other English speaking countries. On that one I got Singapore.

Only British rhyming slang can be more than just American.

Nope nope nope. A trolleybus is an electric-powered, rubber-wheeled bus fed by twin overhead wires.

I speak like a god but with that erotically intriguing way the devil would carry his body language and word-choice.

I've taken this quiz before and that time I got Miami and Orlando as my two highest matches. I took it again and I got Yonkers, NYC, and Patterson. Pretty... big difference.

Some of the vocab is in pretty free variation for me--I say both sneakers and tennis shoes, for example.

There were also options which I found didn't really work well; I have a three-way distinction between the vowels in palm/pom/pawn, and the vowel in the second syllable of "crayon" is the same as in "pom;" the one in "cray-ahn" is the same as palm, and the one in "cray-awn" is the same as pawn. So neither "cray-ahn" or "cray-awn" really work there.

For reference, my dialect is a form of General American influenced by Australian English, so it doesn't really fit any one region of the US that well, but is still distinctly American.

[The North Polish Union]

I got Lincoln, Kansas City, and Overland Park. I'm Polish.

Tram or light rail usually. Or just whatever it's called in the place I'm in.
I'm assuming you mean these.

[Sailence]

Your quiz says I am Jersey city, yonkers New York type fo speaker but I don't have an American accent at all, the only American thing about my accent is how I pronounce some vowels at best.

[Ankuran]

Got Aurora and Denver, CO, and Reno, NV. I've never even been to these states, let alone these towns. I'm a white boy from southeast New Mexico.

For me, the number 1 was the least relevant part of my accent in the 'dialect' and the native language guess was... Well, I just don't know how they concluded that. The correct answer for me was English and some German but I didn't speak Norwegian or Swedish at all in a native sense nor a learned sense. The only language I've learned properly to any degree is Spanish and that's highschool level.

[Cetacea]

A tram, of course.

I call it pavement.

Footpath (concrete footpath if clarity is needed)

Pavement seems to me to be very much an Americanism

Nope, pavement is a british word.

As I know - sidewalk is an american word.

[Oil exporting People]

I have an extremely thick Southern accent, to the point most people from outside my local area assume I'm from the Deep South but I'm actually Upper South.

[Tillania]

According to the quiz, it's a mixture of Honolulu, San Jose and New York.

In reality it is a German native speaker who learned RP in school and has watched hundreds of British and American TV shows since.

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

Yeah, I've heard that before.

I never gave much thought whether the word is "catacorner" or "catercorner," cos it wouldn't affect how I pronounce it. My browser's spellcheck thinks it's "catercorner," but I'll continue ignoring the first "r" because "r"s are optional up here.

I never heard such a word before. Diagonal is the only term I'm familiar with in English for such a situation.

The Rs, supposedly, roll South, so that by the time you get to Texas, you ''warsh yer winders'' (wash your windows).
