As someone who's had thier undergraduate studies in Linguistics with an emphasis on Applied Linguistics, this site's a sight for sore eyes (no pun intended). The one thing that's always stayed with me, for whatever reason, is my fascination with the Boston Brahmin accent[1][2]. It's always been a great example of the progression of accents/dialects -- it's like eavesdropping on a conversation that took place 100+ years ago (in the United States). That aside, the site unfortunately is in dire need of some love, especially considering the density of information on the page and on the maps. I'd be willing to help out if the site owner's poking around through HN.
