Very detailed map about accents in the USA. Is it accurate with your area? Link to the full map in the post body (feddit.org)

Well, hard to tell. The print doesn't show well while zoomed in for me. Best I can say is that from what I can see, it isn't too horribly off from my local ares.

Edit: found a section of the site that zoomed better.

Nah, they entirely missed the Appalachian dialect. It's pretty distinct from what they're calling inland south, enough so that it's recognized as its own thing.

Only part of that is about pronunciation, there's usages and unique words too. Which makes this map all si-gogglin.

The map is best seen from the link in the OP: https://aschmann.net/AmEng/#SmallMapCanada

Yup, I followed the link after I wrote that and edited in that.

Thank you :)
