I got American (Standard) English as #1, and "English" as my native language, none of which surprised me.
The only surprise was that choices #2 and #3 were not ALSO American (Standard) English. :D
Our top three guesses for your English dialect:? 1. American (Standard) 2. US Black Vernacular / Ebonics 3. Canadian Our top three guesses for your native (first) language:? 1. English 2. Norwegian 3. Dutch
What's funny is that the Dutch often have more accurate English grammar than many native American speakers, so I can understand that as a possibility. The Norwegian, though?
Native Oregonian, now living in California, where the dialect and deviation from American Standard are about as minimal as it gets.
