I've been to Bavaria twice and I always considered it the Texas of Germany - meant as a compliment.

I actually overlooked the link in the first post by Toggles.

My score is 70% Dixie. I was raised in Dallas which had a more mixed U.S. culture, so compared to most of Texas our accent and verbage was not as Texan.

57% Dixie

This score actually surprised me as I was born in Minnesota and currently live in Omaha. However, at age 18 I was in the Defense Language Institute in Monterey and my fellow students were very interested in dialectic differences. I found myself listening and, with some international and national travel over the years, actually making choices about certain of my pronunciations. It never occurred that the result, at age 58, would be a dialect that was 57% Dixie. Oof duh.

46% Yankee. California has a lot of transplanted Yankees. Myself included! But I seem to have picked up some midwestern and southern dialect from the Others.
