Title: Regional Dialect Maps
Post by: Vandy Vol on June 05, 2013, 06:57:31 PM: The maps are a visualization of the results of a survey done by a professor at NC State. He basically asked Americans in different regions how they pronounced certain words, or what words they used to identify specific things (such as crawfish vs. crawdad).
