The Atlas of North American English

The Atlas of North American English (ANAE) is a comprehensive research resource that maps and analyzes how English is spoken across North America. It documents regional pronunciation differences, vocabulary, and linguistic patterns to show how accents and language use vary between areas like the U.S. and Canada. By studying recordings and data from diverse speakers, it helps linguists understand the physical and social influences shaping regional speech. The ANAE is valuable for researchers, educators, and anyone interested in the rich diversity of North American English, revealing both shared traits and unique local characteristics of the language.
