The Flemish (Dutch-speaking) part of Belgium has at least 10 regional dialects. Only foreigners and soap-series actors speak standardised (Flemish) Dutch.

Foreigners need to be born here or spend childhood here to master the dialect.

I know Turks who speak North-West non-coastal Flemish fluently but have a hard time speaking standardised Dutch. The result is that he is considered "one of us" much more than a white foreigner who mastered standardised Dutch.

>You really don't know what you're dealing here with. People from the eastern region simply do not understand those from the west if they don't use the official Slovene as a medium.

We understand very well. That was why the French-speakers wanted to push French on us the last two centuries. There was no standardised Dutch, only Holland Dutch which was not natural to us. Without French someone from West Flandres could not understand someone from West-Limburg (let alone East Limburg where they use German words - the 'ik'/'ich' border).

Even today the city of Gent has a profoundly different dialect than the surrounding villages, and every village has it own. So 8 km from your city there is spoken a completely different dialect.

In the 19th century our own (French-speaking or mixed dialect and French) nobility wanted to push German on us (before 1870) because Dutch was considered a peasant language and Holland was still seen as the enemy, under Leopold II.

People never spoke German here, in fact the dialects in the old county of Flanders are amongst the olderst in Europe. Older than high German, straightly derived from the middle ages, and in fact the direct successor of Nederfrankisch, the language of the Salian Franks.

They are as different as British dialects, they are just hard to tell the difference between them due to the large amount of migration that goes on unless you are a linguist who studied and know the differences by heart or you are a native-born American.

Because the Russians got you started on assimilating your Swedish population 200 years ago and you never stopped. They didn't want people in the Russian Empire who would say "I am a Swede and Sweden is the country of the Swedes. My loyalty is to Sweden, not Russia." Much better if they were Finnish because if Finns had a country, it'd have to be Russia. The Swedish population in Finland has resented this to varying degrees and done what they could to not be assimilated and have their differences erased, but it's a losing battle.

I wouldn't call Danish intelligible to people who live in northern Götaland, Svealand and Norrland. To me it's just a little bit easier to understand than German. And I'm speaking about both text and speech, Norwegian is often understandable though.

The problem is that most of the Swedish speakers live in municipalities which are mostly Finnish. For example. Helsinki (5,9% Swedish), Turku (5,4%), Vaasa (22,6%). There's only a few sparsely populated remote areas with a good majority of Swedish speakers.

>>53038772
No, those areas were they live are part of the swedish nation. No reason to move.

>not going full finnish
We don't have the word "she" in finnish at all. We just have "he" (hän). Because of this, we always of course use the word "se" meaning "it", because fuck you that's why. Most people refer to eachother as "it" instead of "(s)he". Hän is only used when people are being official or sometimes in mocking, sarcastic ways.

We have quite a few dialects in the UK, but (like many countries), they change quickly and it can be hard to define exact boundaries.

Not language, but identity. It was important to the Russians that all people in Finland identified as Finns rather than Swedes. Finns, in contrast to Swedes, did not have their own state to rally behind and there were plenty of them already in Russia, so they would be much easier to integrate and ultimately assimilate.

There was no Swedish identity before nationalism so you're talking bullshit. Finnish Swedes are not even genetically more Swedish than Western Finnish Finnish speakers. Swedish language was a class thing, not a matter of ethnicity.

Historical revisionism. The Swedes have been a people with a state of their own since time immemorial. Swedes are tied together not just by some king, but by a common language, culture and state. This is not a recent development.

>Finnish Swedes are not even genetically more Swedish than Western Finnish Finnish speakers.
While there has certainly been a lot of intermarriage and a lot of Swedes and Finns who have switched to the majority language or the language of power, I will not believe your statement unless you can back it up.

Trust me, English really doesn't have that much difference in its dialects. Any other language has much bigger differences between the speakers.

British and General American are shockingly similar, and you'd be surprised how some Irish and British accents sound almost EXACTLY like American accents.

There really isn't that big of a difference between dialects in English

>lur eta zeruak argigabe daude;
>otsoak ari dira marruaz Altabizkarren;
>Euskaldunen aizkorak eta dardoak diztiratzen dute Ibañetako ariztartetan.

Labortan:

>Zeru lurrak daude argirikgabe;
>Otsoak uhuriaka ari dira Altabizkarren;
>Eskualdunen aizkora eta geziek distiratzen dute Ibañetako aritzartetan.

Souletin:

>zelü lürrak argigabe dira;
>otsoak orrokoz ari dira Altabizkarren;
>Üskaldünen aizkorek eta eztenek distiatzen die Ibañetako harizartetan.

Current standard Basque:
>Larritasunarekin Karlomanok ezin du lorik hartu;
>zeru-lurrak argi gabe daude;
>otsoak marruka ari dira Altabizkarren;
>Euskaldunen aizkora eta geziek distiratzen dute Ibañetako haritzartean.

How I would say it:
>Larritasunakin Karlomanok ezin du loik hartu;
>zeru-lurrek argi gabe dare;
>otsok marruka ai dia Altabizkarren;
>Euskaldunen aizkora eta gezik distiratzen due Ibañetako aritzartetan.

Like I said, There's a few dialects in the UK that are legitimately quite different from standard English, but for the most part they're pretty understandable, especially as they disappear and are replaced by what's more of an accented version of 'standard' English

Understandable yes but there's no way you can't differentiate a British accent from us one

So you're stuttering that Sweden is the first country to come up with nationalism? keks.

I didn't say you couldn't, just that it's pretty similar compared to the dialects of other languages, and that there's also quite a few Irish/British, especially Irish, accents that sound even closer to American that they get hard to distinguish as British or American.

There's been quite a few Irish people I've heard speaking that I didn't realize were Irish at first because their accent sounded so like an American one. I just thought they had a slight speech lisp or something of that nature

Well, that's globalisation for you. Different dialects will always exist, but it'll be hard for them to be radically different from one another if we're all so interconnected.
