If folks find accents interesting, I loved this video which does a tour of US accents. Part 1: link (Okracoke Island is at 13:40) Part 2: ▶ this video
Really good article. For those interested in this sort of thing, wired did a pretty good series on accents in the US recently on youtube: link ▶ this video link
In the US there is a Northern Cities Vowel shift going on right now, that this linguist claims is the biggest vowel shift since “The Great Vowel Shift.” See this video starting at 7:10 ▶ this video Maybe related to what’s happening in Canadian English?
