20 Examples of Dialect Varieties

Dialect varieties

Dialect varieties (or dialects) are particular idioms or idioms that identify different groups of speakers of a language, without questioning the linguistic unity of their language. For example: River Plate, Central American, Riojan.

Almost all languages ​​are presented as vast conglomerates of dialect varieties, linked to the geographical and cultural diversity of the peoples who are users of these languages. Dialects are, then, the regional varieties or modalities in which a language is presented.

They can be many, especially in languages ​​such as Spanish, which is spoken in such vast and far-flung regions of the world. In this language there are not only important differences between the Spanish of America and that of Spain, but also various dialect varieties are identified within Spain itself and within America.

Something similar happens with the Mandarin Chinese language (usually referred to only as 'Chinese' and spoken by no less than 836 million people), which includes Standard Mandarin (spoken in Beijing) and other dialects spoken in other regions, such as Yángzhōu, Xī’ān, Chéngdū, and Língbǎo.

Some causes of birth to dialect variation are the influence that a people may have had about a part of the linguistic domain and territorial separation that often gives rise to evolutions differentiated.

Linguistic geography specialists are the ones who analyze these processes. It is not considered an easy task to establish the limits of these varieties, since the linguistic phenomena that define the particularities of each dialect are of variable extension and, often, they do not have an important differentiation compared to others of origin common.
