Start With the U.S. Map

The current quiz focuses on U.S. and nearby North American patterns because those are the strongest search demand and easiest to explain with familiar word choices.

British and Irish English

A UK and Ireland quiz would look for words like trainers, you lot, bairn, barm, bap, cob, teacake, and local city accents such as Scouse, Geordie, Cockney, and Brummie.

Canadian English

Canadian English overlaps with northern U.S. patterns but keeps its own clues, including toque, eh, Canadian raising, and regional differences from the Maritimes to the Prairies.

Australian and New Zealand English

A Southern Hemisphere version would look for arvo, servo, thongs, bottle-o, and short-vowel shifts that make Australian and New Zealand English easy to compare.
