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.<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Can we localize your dialect based on your pronunciation of 26 words?<\/li>\n<li>Record your dialect and listen to recordings of other users and to historical dialect recordings!<\/li>\n<li>Choose a pronunciation variant, e.g. \u2018sheuf\u2019, and discover where in<\/li>\n<li>England it is used\u2026or choose a place and explore its dialect!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=&#8221;image_grid&#8221; images=&#8221;5227,5228&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; onclick=&#8221;custom_link&#8221; custom_links_target=&#8221;_blank&#8221; custom_links=&#8221;#E-8_aHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZhcHBzLmFwcGxlLmNvbSUyRnVzJTJGYXBwJTJGZW5nbGlzaC1kaWFsZWN0cyUyRmlkODgyMzQwNDA0JTJDaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZwbGF5Lmdvb2dsZS5jb20lMkZzdG9yZSUyRmFwcHMlMkZkZXRhaWxzJTNGaWQlM0RjaC51a19yZWdpb25hbCUyNmhsJTNEZW4=&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1575563159173{padding-top: 100px !important;}&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;4938&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1576568300760{margin-right: 5% !important;border-right-width: 5% !important;padding-right: 10% !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1575563367472{padding-top: 100px !important;}&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;English Dialects&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h1|text_align:left&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:300%20light%20regular%3A300%3Anormal&#8221;][vc_column_text]Institution:\u00a0University of Cambridge URL:\u00a0Cambridge app maps decline in regional diversity of English dialects\u00a0(https:\/\/www.cam.ac.uk\/research\/news\/cambridge-app-maps-decline-in-regional-diversity-of-english-dialects)[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] Do you pronounce the \/r\/ in \u2018arm\u2019?
