In honor of the fourth of July, I have compiled a list of Maps, Charts, Videos and Quizzes about language(s) in the United States: things like vernacular, dialects, languages other than English and linguistic diversity. Often times the United States gets left out of conversations about languages and/or linguistic diversity unless it pertains to Spanish and for the Fourth of July, perhaps the most self-centered American holiday, I will stroke the U.S.’s ego by giving them a piece of the language pie.This is a quiz/survey which asks you to answer questions about how you say specific words like do you say big-rig, semi, semi truck or something else? And then the quiz tries to say where you’re from.I’ve taken it several times and it’s pretty spot on.

It’s almost scary how right it is.Plus there is currently a book on Amazon of the maps in the quiz compiled into a coffee table style book. I saw this at my local bookstore, fell in love with it and am planning on giving it to someone (not telling you who) for Christmas or their birthday.This video from babbel (a language learning platform I don’t personally use but whose videos I love) is a tour of Manhattan through language and the areas you can find different languages. Often called “ghetto” or “slang” or even “unprofessional” AAVE (African American Vernacular English) is a vernacular spoken by many working and middle-class African Americans in the United States and parts of Canada.

It’s a controversial topic but incredibly interesting.This video by Xidnaf is a minor dive into the linguistics of AAVE covering theories of how it began, some of its grammar rules, linguistic peculiarities and current stigmatization.This quiz asks you 50 questions that range from easy to incredibly difficult about synonyms (words with same meanings) and antonyms (words with opposite meanings) and then gives you a size for your vocabulary and the percentile you are in. It’s incredibly fun (at least if you’re someone like me) and makes you want to look up new words as well.

The Official Language of the United StatesOkay, this is technically not one specific fun thing nor is it necessairly the most fun thing ever, but it is an interesting topic that I figured I’d give a few informational links about.A quick summary the United States doesn’t have an official language federally. Federally is the key word- that means that though the United States as a whole doesn’t have an official language many states do have their own official language.If you really want to get into it read:This post on the Washington Post (isn’t that fun to say?) breaks down the dialects which have established in the United States.

About a decade ago 24 different dialects were broken down and split up on a map by Robert Delany who, other than this, I’ve never heard of nor can I find. But most people trust him so I’m going to go with it.Pretty simple. As the title implies (it doesn’t actually imply it, it blatantly states it) it’s a quiz to test your knowledge of United States slang.

This quiz works by giving you four terms and then you click on the term that is not slang (though to be fair, all of them could easily be fair). What United States language links should I add to my next list?
