I stumbled upon a fascinating (and slightly amusing) website called BoldVoice (https://start.boldvoice.com/accent-oracle). It uses AI to analyze your speech and guess your accent based on a short passage you read aloud.
Naturally, I had to try it! The first time, it couldn't quite pinpoint my accent. But on the second attempt, it came up with a rather interesting result: 35% Turkish and 30% Arabic!
Given our diverse Assyrian backgrounds and the various regions we hail from, I'm incredibly curious to see what it guesses for all of you.
Give it a shot and share your results in the comments below! I'm particularly interested to see how it handles different Neo-Aramaic dialects and the influence of our ancestral homelands.
A quick heads-up: The website is primarily designed for English language learning, so it seems to be programmed to find some deviation from a "standard" American accent. Don't be surprised if it tells you your accent isn't perfect, even if you're a native English speaker. It's likely a marketing tactic to promote their accent reduction courses.
Let's have some fun with this and see what the AI thinks of our unique voices!
Looking forward to hearing your results!

My English accent is Arabic (45%), followed by English (16%) and Brazilian (9%). I was raised here and I sound like many other Australians from the suburbs. I thought this will tell you what English accent you have (like American, Irish, British, NZ, Scottish, Aus, etc).
