It says most of us talks like black people. I'm not entirely sure how to do that without sounding Rastafarian, but I guess I should just speak normally?

Well because it's hilarious?

You speak Dutch, Stevie. Singaporean is your dialect in English.

Dagothgares will explain it to you, I cant speak Dutch.

Looking at the wikipedia article on "Black Vernacular" it does seem to sound a bit Rastafarian. I'm surprised I got that at number one, since I definately did not check any of those "I be doing this" kind of sentences that are seemingly supposed to be part of it.

Well, he doesn't understand Norwegian so it can't be Norway or Sweden. There's three left... Iceland ? Even if you're Danish, shouldn't you understand some Norwegian?

South African and Dutch are closely related, feeble cursed one. So obviously our sentence structures should be very similar. And it keeps referring to the grammatical structures. You're using the grammatical structures of black americans, you're not necessarily speaking like a thug.

1. American (Standard)
2. US Black Vernacular / Ebonics
3. Canadian

Its top three guesses for my native language:
1. English
2. Dutch
3. German
