27 points. Not all that good.

Only thing that saved me was that I knew a Scot who was a Glaswegian when I was in high school. That, and I grew up in Indiana--so the vowels pronounced by the person from Indianapolis were instantly recognizable as "southern" Indiana. (The vowels are sharper when the person is from the northern part of the state.)

Worst one I did was pegging the one from Hanover, Germany, as a Norwegian.

Interesting, and fun. :)

Best,

George
