    Default In which region of your country is the standard form of your language spoken

    Dialects exist in almost every tongue, but there is always a place where the language originated and is most similar to the written form until today?
    Where is it in your country?

    So we can basically say that in Celje they speak the written form of Slovenian, or is this too presumptuous to claim?

    Yellow and blue arreas represent speeches closest to standard Serbian (and Croatian). Eastern Hercegovinian and Šumadinian-Vojvodinian.

    Northern Germany. I would say the purest form of German is spoken in Hannover area.
