Which English?

[topum]

This quiz correctly identified me as a native Norwegian speaker (one of my natives) speaking England (where I live) version of English.

Interesting. I was impressed that it identified me correctly as a Norwegian native speaker but it seems to be quite liberal with the use of Norwegian in its results.

My results:

I'm white Anglo Saxon Canadian not sure where they are getting the us black vernacular from.  I have never been to Norway I can't speak Dutch or Norwegian I can barely speak Canadian French.  They got the English right ha!

Oh man. I wonder if this quiz is made by Norwegians. Everyone seems to be Norwegian according to it, even native English speakers.
They got it right for you from the third guess (third pair describes you exactly). They figured me out right away, from the first guess.

Yes that must be it, the creators of the test must be Norwegian or hybrid Aliens from a distant planet. 

Yeah they got me finally on the third guess. 

Ha! still not sure how they got African American vernacular in there.  I don't talk like Snoop Dogg or anything.
