Updated results on the relationship between English dialects
I've updated the interactive visualization of the relationships between the Englishes of the world to include a couple dozen additional native languages. Check it out.
I found the quiz to be somewhat limited, especially in the last three sections where it asks you to mark which sentences are "correct".
The dialect of English I use is different from the dialect of English my father uses, and so there were cases where I marked things as "correct" because they are structures he naturally uses and I've heard often enough to understand, even though I wouldn't use them myself. But there was no room for that distinction in code-switching
