Description

Do you pronounce the /r/ in 'arm'? Do you call a shelf a 'sheuf'? And what on earth is a 'hoddy-doddy'? There is extensive variation in English dialects: this is why your answers to such questions will allow this app to localize your broader dialect region on a map of England.

Did your home dialect change over time? Our algorithm is based on historical data from the Survey of English Dialects. If it guesses where you are from correctly, your home dialect has probably remained stable over the past decades. If the guess is far off, however, it is probably because of dialect change.

- Can we localize your dialect based on your pronunciation of 26 words?
- Record your dialect and listen to recordings of other users and to historical dialect recordings!
- Choose a pronunciation variant, e.g. 'sheuf', and discover where in England it is used...or choose a place and explore its dialect!

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew

3 ★Miles out in guessing my dialect's origins. When I stated where my dialect came from the app still placed me on the map in my present geographic location. Fun to do but too limited to be taken seriously.
4 ★Really interesting stuff. Think they are missing a major pronunciation of "new" though. I used to live in West Wales and they would always pronounce it nɪu, not nu, or nju
4 ★The app itself is fine. It can't be expected to know that Indians might use it and be placed in Wales, of all places. :)
2 ★As a "Coventry kid", I was surprised to be placed west of Cardiff. I checked the sample data for Meriden and Nuneaton, and the vocabulary choices and pronunciation examples were very similar to mine. Is South Wales really so very similar to the Midlands?
5 ★I've not lived there for 30 years but the 3 options circled my home town. Bullseye
3 ★It was 50 miles out, which isn't too bad but the app definitely needs a social media sharing function. You will definitely get more uptake and downloads if people can then dhare on social media the results.
1 ★Pretty awful. Put me in Cornwall on my first go and in Wales on my second. I'm from Cambridgeshire. Also wouldn't let me connect to correct them.
3 ★It was ok, but not close. When the app asked for feedback, the map function (to chose where I'm from) did not work.
5 ★Having a swamp Yankee accent, it pegged rather close to the location where my ancestors migrated from England/Scotland.
3 ★All this analysis is based on how people think they sound words which in reality might not be the case. I have been surprised in the past hearing my recorded voice sounding quite different to how I imagined.
1 ★What a load of rubbish I'm from Lincolnshire, North Yorkshire parents never been to Liverpool but apparently I sound like a scowser
5 ★And there was I thinking I'd lost all traces of my local accent...
