I got bored and decided to generate a list of words that New Englanders pronounce incorrectly. Yes, I know that there are many others... but they mainly follow the same "mis-pronunciation" rules.
Worcester: Wusster
Haverhill: Haverill
Barnstable: Barnstubble
Billerica: Bill-er-icka
Chelmsford: Chelmsfohd
Gloucester: Glousster
Cladder: Claddaugh
Harvard: Havahd
Espresso: Expresso
Denim: Dungarees
Park: Pahk
There: Theyah
Door: Dohwah
Past: Pahst
Corner: Cawnah
Had: Hahd
Bar: Baah
Also, here's an interesting Wikipedia article describing "Boston English": Boston English article
Cheers!
