Linguistic Atlas of the United States and Canada

The Linguistic Atlas of the United States and Canada is a research project that maps and documents regional differences in English pronunciation, vocabulary, and speech patterns across North America. By collecting interviews and linguistic data from various locations, it reveals how language varies geographically due to cultural, historical, and social influences. The atlas provides valuable insights into dialects and regional language diversity, helping linguists, historians, and educators understand how language evolves and disperses across different communities and regions.
