From Costa Rica, learned english in Scotland as a kid but had american teachers growing up. They guessed:

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

    1. Norwegian
    2. English
    3. Dutch

Seems like Singaporean should be penalised just by mere demographics/statistics.

Being born, raised in living in Scotland I got:

1. Scottish (UK)

2. English (England)

3. Irish (Republic of)

Surprisingly accurate.
