For me it was 1. Arabic 2. Vietnamese 3. Portuguese
Dutch wasn't on there but yet that doesn't surprises me because Flemmish regional tongues differ greatly from the Dutch standard language.

2. Plano
3. Irving
(Actual: Houston)

1st quiz - least similar
1. Buffalo
2. Rochester
3. Detroit
(Actual: probably New England)

2nd quiz - dialect

1. American (Standard)
2. Canadian
3. US Black Vernacular / Ebonics
(Actual: some subset of "Standard American English")

2nd quiz - native language

1. English
2. Dutch
3. Norwegian
(Actual: Hindi)

1st quiz was fairly accurate for me (right state, top 3 cities were a bit off):
http://nyti.ms/23nCLmz

My actual city's one of the deeper-red hotspots on there, at least. It definitely recognizes that I'm from Texas- not too hard, given that Texan speech is fairly distinctive. I also hadn't realized before that "blow-off class" wasn't a term used throughout the entire United States.

That said, my accent isn't entirely Texan- given that I've spent significant chunks of my life in other places (India, California, Pennsylvania) and that I intentionally deviate from some tendencies, like using "coke" to refer to soft drinks in general (I'd be okay with calling them all Dr Pepper, though!).

2nd quiz:
http://bit.ly/1ovlgZq

It correctly recognized that I'm not a third-world illiterate pleb- my style of English was closest to the elusive Standard American English with some similarities to Canadian English and Black Vernacular English. The BVE similarities probably come from habits I've picked up in the South- or from general similarities between BVE and Standard American/Texan English.

What's more interesting, though, is that the quiz thought my native language was English- or possibly Dutch or Norwegian. I'd forgive it for thinking English (given that I say things out loud in my head in English, not Hindi) but I'm curious as to how it got Dutch/Norwegian. I've never even been in either of those two countries- not even in a layover- nor interacted with a native Dutch person or Norwegian.

Interesting quizzes, though- and mostly predictable results for me.

Dutch is a West Germanic tongue like English, and Norwegian is North Germanic (but the North Germanic tongues influenced English grammar quite a bit, too). They have like grammar builds to English, so they're a go-to if it gets hints that you are a native Englisher.
