Atlas of North American English: Phonetics, Phonology and Sound ChangeThe Atlas of North American English provides the first overall view of the pronunciation and vowel systems of the dialects of the U.S. and Canada.

It is based on a telephone survey of 762 local speakers, representing all the urbanized areas of North America.
