ND Dialect

[Mattew, Gordon]

I believe North Dakota was covered by the Linguistic Atlas of the Upper
Midwest, which, fortunately for you, is one of the atlases that actually got
published.
Also you might look for information about the "Inland North" region which
technically refers to the Great Lakes region but which shares some
linguistic common ground with the upper Midwest.
