Maps. This one is very cool.

Detailed map:

So he just declines to list the five words.

@grok find the link to this map

@KeriA1776again The map in the video is Rick Aschmann's highly detailed interactive map of North American English dialects (based on pronunciation patterns, with audio samples). Link:

@RobCape6912 @KeriA1776again Thanks Grok Here's his audio samples by state, from the link.

@RobCape6912 @KeriA1776again You're welcome! Those audio samples by state are a perfect complement—nothing beats hearing the dialects come alive. Appreciate you sharing the direct link.

People in Wyoming don’t sound Southern Californians. I think ol’ Rick just mailed it in when it came to the western U.S.

Too bad about the talking head in the front. I really hate this new type of video with some loser in the front talking or pointing at the subject or whatever I always scroll by them

Anyone from Toronto who drives a couple hours north will be recognized instantly as not being from there by how they talk.

So, he was just done working when he made it to the west? We don’t sound the same in these states.

this is my favorite part lol. i’m a cincy native & when i went to college other people from ohio were so confused by my “accent”

There’s an island in the outer banks and everyone sounds like they’re from Liverpool

This is fun, too.

I’m sorry, what?! Midcoast Maine has its own dialect, and it sounds nothing like the North Shore of Massachusetts.

The Inland North dialect was used for a long time in acting and news anchors. But digital social media is changing the landscape. Will be interesting to see how Americans speak 50 years from now.

But I already know where I grew up

His map of America is cool and all but his map of canada is hilariously terrible The idea that America has all these nuances but everyone from BC to Alberta to Ontario all speak in the same dialect. Yeah, it’s bad

We southerners sound like our British ancestors with a slow, more drawn out drawl

Link to the map?

My dad from New England couldn’t stand that I who grew up in the South pronounced pin and pen the same. It drove him batty

This map is not only inaccurate on region but largely incorrect as a whole Many regions have neutral enough accents theyre not identifiable

I'll throw out a guess that the linguist creator of this map probably appreciated this aspect of the My Fair Lady film with Rex Harrison and Audrey Hepburn. I also wonder if that movie gave him any inspiration for his work.

Urban areas of Texas would break the model

@AutismCapital true autist's work

@Revel8Nation I have to disagree with the massive one accent west. There are many pronunciation and dialect variations within this “region”

Thos would have been useful twenty years ago but now with cable television and Internet everyone is watching the same things and using the same vernacular that this map is useless

Born and raised in central Florida, I moved to Ohio when I was 19. It was like a different world. A pallet was a skid, a forklift was a tow motor, a soda was a pop, and y’all were you guys. They nicknamed me Pony Boy lol. From the Outsiders.

Doing this for the uk and Ireland would cause your head to explode.

I love this map. I do believe the North Fl accent is unique from the south and extends further west than depicted...especially along the coast. Raised on the beach we could tell if you were from a different part of the county or even closer to Alabama.

Too cool

If you enjoy this kinda stuff then tune in to Martha and Grant @wayword One of my favorite radio/pods shows.

Yet no link to the map.

As a native californian, there are absolutely dialects. I can hear a Southern vs Bay area, Washingtonians sound different than Oregonians. And Zonies (Arizonan) sound different too. This is definitely made by an East Coaster.

mean while New Orleans and most of Louisiana are on their own map....

Creole is something else man lol

People in Utah do not speak like California at all.

Love it. When I was in college, the second floor at SIU had very specific linguistic maps as I remember they were about about 4 x 6’ each. There were a lot of them.
