North American English Dialects, Based on Pronunciation Patterns

When you need subtitles on shows where English is the first language of the person in North America, you have to conclude that there are may many dialects of English.  Linguist Rick Aschmann amassed information on North American English dialects, based on pronunciation patterns. This is a hobby of his and with careful analysis of his site, one can get some interesting data of the movement and history of the people who migrated to those areas.   If you are into linguistic history and culture this site is a wealth of information.

“This is just a hobby of mine, that I thought might be interesting to a lot of people. Some people collect stamps. Others collect coins. I collect dialects.”
