I took a fancy American English test online to see what kind of dialect I speak, here's the results...
Your Linguistic Profile:
- 80% General American English
- 15% Upper Midwestern
- 5% Midwestern
- 0% Dixie
- 0% Yankee
Apparently I'm pretty much on par with where I live. I would assume the Upper Midwestern includes the whole state of Wisconsin. How do you fair? Take the test.
Update: I had to remove the table because no matter what I did I couldn't get it to display correctly, I've replaced it with a text listing.

Do you have any idea what the difference between midwestern and upper midwestern is? I was 75% general, 20% upper midwestern, and 5% midwestern.

No idea where I would have gotten Yankee from, last time I was out on the East Coast I couldn't speak anyways.
