Dialect quizz

This is surprisingly clever and in my case picked out words from York and Durham where parents were born, as well as Whitby area where we went to school.
As you do each question red areas appear on the map related to those words.
Some questions allow more than one option.

Got quite a few Scottish-isms as well as English. Not surprising as about 50% of my life in each. Somehow I must have clicked on something I shouldnae have as result disappeared before my eyes

Mine came out within 40 miles, but too far N/NW to be totally correct.
Apparently there's a further 'refiner' to this quiz which can bring it closer to base.

No Cornish though !

It worked quite well for me. I was brought up in Suffolk - with a Mum who was a farmers daughter from Norfolk.

There is a bit of a mix around this area of Norfolk & Suffolk and I usually refer to it as a 'Waveney Valley accent'.

You might have to scroll down to see a click box which starts it - they want to know if you are from UK now, or just have an interest in it I think.
