Everyone knows Americans don't agree on pronunciations.

That's great, because regional accents are a major part of what makes American English so interesting.

Joshua Katz, a Ph.D. student of statistics at North Carolina State University, published a group of awesome visualizations of professor Bert Vaux and Scott Golder's linguistic survey, which looked at how Americans pronounce words (via detsl on /r/Linguistics).

His results were first published on The Abstract, the NC State University research blog. The complete set of Katz's maps, updated with the results from over 350,000 new survey responses, are compiled in the new book " Speaking American," out October 25 from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.

Katz gave us permission to publish some of the coolest maps from his collection.
