Q: What is the connected speech form of "where did you go"?

"where did you go" becomes "wheredja go" — a assimilation pattern. This happens when the /d/ sound at the end of 'did' meets the /j/ sound at the beginning of 'you', blending into a /dʒ/ sound, similar to the 'j' in 'jump'. This is called palatalization, and it makes speech smoother and faster.
