    I had forgotten that I do speak a local dialect of Norwegian. It is the 19th century rural dialect of an area near Bergen and was called bondespraak (literally "farmer talk"). Most educated Norwegians find it difficult to understand.

    its a dialect of Spanish, and some linguistics consider it a potential creole language

    my dialect is Canarian Spanish with heavy influences from African languages

    There is not a severe variation with standard spanish, but we do change the ending of the verbs and the accentuation, among other things.
    lots of Italian influence there no?

    You can of course look for a different aka supplemental
    reasons, but it is not the main thing. Only among those,
    who have no idea who they are, or forgot it, but it isn't
    an example, which is of high level, is it?

    The original identity of huge majority of Basques is... Indoeuropean... Ironic, isn't it?

    Default What is your dialect?

    Pretty simple thread

    Mine is a mixture and some was taught. General American, AAVE, Upland Southern, some remnant of Older Southern American English (from my grandparents) and taught Mid-Atlantic. I am a bit of an amateur linguist and I studied dialects, particularly Southern dialects, for a long time. Lived in a number of extremely different places growing up, so my dialect is a bit odd.

    I consciously and unconsciously code switch a lot.
