This quick questionnaire is designed for a research project analyzing speech and dialect in our society. I am writing a research paper on language and accents for my Anthropology Class and would like to ask you some questions. This quiz (per-se) is completely confidential and essential in data collection for my project. All submissions will be greatly appreciated.
