That Wikipedia article had every state but Alaska. Angry

Alaska
Developed out of the Northern, Midland, and Western dialects. Also influenced by the native languages of the Alutes, Innuit, and Chinook Jargon. Some words that originated here are: bush (remote area), cabin fever, mush (to travel by dog sled), parka, stateside.

Bush (remote area) - I'm pretty sure the Australians had that one before you guys.

Really? Wow.
