This is an interesting site I found. It poses questions how people from around the country pronounce certain words, or what words they use to describe the same thing, and then it gives a geographical map showing the results.

Some of the more interesting one:

#1 - how do you pronounce "Aunt"
#50 - you/you all/ y'all
#58 - garage sale/yard sale/tag sale
#73 - sneakers/tennis shoes
#105 - soda/pop
