Amazingly, I'd thought I'd lost most of my New York accent. A tip of the cap to Harry Broertjes, who forwarded this my way.

Mine came up as "Midland" an area designation I didn't know existed.
(Midland = Pennsylvania, So. Ohio, So. Indiana, So. Illinois and Missiouri)
I did find a number of the tests inconclusive. I distinguish "to" "two" and "too," but then I also live in an area where "ax" is the sound (and spelling!) people give to the word "ask."
New Yorkers have been known to do that, too.
Here are some questions that weren't on the quiz:
1. Do you put an "r" after the "a" in "Washington"?
2. Do you pronounce "across" with a "t" sound at the end?
3. Do you pronounce "height" as if it ends with an "h"?
