Woefully incomplete though, Massachusetts alone has at least four distinct accents. Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont have a couple each. Connecticut, at least three, but I'm not sure there's more than one in Rhode Island.

The five boroughs of manhattan each have distinct sounds Bronx and Brooklyn most notably different. Then there's LI, Westchester, Upstate east, west, and central.

It was fun!

The only thing that stuck out at me from they guy from Hammond as the pronunciation of Chicago.
