It's probably Frisian, though it's really more of a separate language. As for Dutch dialects, it's West-Flemish and Limbourgish.
French is always a meme, but that's more because of the people speaking it (Bruxellois and Walloons).

Uh.. Catalan is not a dialect of Spanish. It can't be because they originated in separated territories. Nobody spoke Castillian here.). And the grammar and most words are very different.

Some people say that it's a dialect of Occitan, tho. Which would make much more sense.

It was written in latin as far as I know.

Copying from a blog: "El Compromiso de Caspe trajo consigo la introducción en el trono aragonés de una dinastía castellana. El castellano pasó a ser el idioma de la corte, y el idioma aragonés quedó para la clase baja, comenzando a desaparecer paulatinamente en favor del castellano."

Dead dialect is dead.

Alsace stronk here.
Comes from "alemanic" language, and not the modern german language. It was already spoken centuries ago.Elders still speak a lot of Alsacian, less in the big cities, where the mains dialects are probably arabic. Young people can't understand or speak the language, there are exceptions.
Second dialect in France, but in reality the first spoken.
I speak it a bit, it's not german, they basically don't understand you when you speak Alsacian, but still, it helps for germanics languages.

Lies. We have a shit-ton of Germanic words. And we would have even more if we didn't latinize the language so much. Plus the arab words, of course.

They are both Indoeuropean languages.

Just take a look at our names. A lot of them are Germanic (probably the more popular ones, overall).
Alberto, Carlos, Alfonso, Luis, Guillermo, Fernando, Alvaro, Gustavo, Oscar, and I could go on all they...

Consider not only first names, but also all the derivated surnames (tipically things like "Fernandez" or "Alonso").

I actually don't know much about that. I am sure Uruguayan rioplatence has. We use some Portuguese words in our daily life too. Although I think it's more the other way around: see, South Brazilian dialecrs are very interlegible with Spanish. They also use the você and its tenses just like we use the vos (I actually don't remember if this was a Sul thing or all of Brazil uses it, I know Portugal certainly doesn't).

It is hard to just name them, they just pop out when I'm talking. I do remember two that were pointed out, when I went to the pub last week.

Vinku - Beer jug, usually called "Õllekann"
Taherbill - Weak beer

Also my pronunciation. I lose a lot of "h", where there should be one. And a lot of my "a" turn into "ä". Praegu - Präegu, Pea - Pää, Janu - Jänu.

And sometimes my "v" turn into "b", which is a majro factor in the West dialect.
>>
>>57071343
Yeah we use it like the Spanish. You over there in America all stopped using it, both Portuguese and Spanish speakers.
I once read the natural evolution of latin languages was for these languages to lose the second person (both singular and plural) and just have a first person and then a third person, to simplify the verbal usage. I don't know how much of it is true or not, though.
Also, a bit unrelated, I think the argentinian accents are probably the most original castillan accents out there.

Well, in Portuguese verbs for 2nd and 3rd person are the same, right? It also happenes with formal Spanish, when 'usted' is used.
>Also, a bit unrelated, I think the argentinian accents are probably the most original castillan accents out there.

Makes pretty good sense to me though. It's slang sounding to us, but it's clearer than asking an unfamiliar person "What's up?" and watching them jerk their head straight up in the sky.

They sometimes leave out letters.
And have words that died out in the western version long ago.
And the pronounce things rather differently.
But we understand them 100 percent.
The csángó dialect is/was spoken in moldova.
That is weird.
They never modernized their language.
I only heard it once but it was like reading a text written in old hungarian.

Cantonese is probably the strongest relative to Mandarin - which was originally the Beijing dialect/language. Chicom nationalists insist Cantonese is a dialect when in practice it is so different from Mandarin verbally that ~85% is mutually unintelligible.
Shanghainese, Fukienese and the other regional dialects are dying out somewhat since Mandarin became imposed in the 50s but are likewise fairly unintelligible to a Mandarin speaker. Meme dialects include Tibetan and Mongolian

Sounds like what you would treat Appalachian here, a real dialect influenced by culture/terrain. Probably the most "real" dialect we have if you exclude all the local extracts (Yankee, Southern, Deep Southern.) Cajun is a thing down in Louisiana, less localized than Appalachian, which literally stays within the small towns and villages in the mountains.

Probably one of the Scottish dialects spoken by poor people in Glasgow or Ayrshire. In England, it's probably Scouse or Geordie.

I believe the Chinese government uses the term 'dialect' to inspire a sense of unity among citizens, just like Czechs and Slovaks talk about their languages as independent.
I lived for a year in Hong Kong and learned a fair amount of Cantonese. Then back here I started learning Mandarin at uni (there are no Cantonese courses here) and, although I had it easier than my classmates, it was almost like picking it up from 0 considering all the changes in characters and the differences in pronunciation.
Cantonese is a much nicer language than Mandarin. With Cantonese you feel you are singing, with Mandarin I felt like I was choking on a chicken bone.

I don't think I understood what you meant perfectly, but I thought castillian worked like this:
>tú eres (in portuguese: tu és)
>él/ella/ello/usted es (in portuguese: ele/ela/você é)
You don't conjugate it the same. At least not in Spain.
I know in some places in Brasil they use the "tu" but then use the verb like it's "você". So they say like "tu é da argentina?" but in reality they're conjugating it like it's the third person. Maybe in Argentina you guys do it like that too? That's really cool.
Maybe you're talking about the "vos" pronoun. The "vos" in spanish has a completely different origin from "tu" or "usted". It has the same origin as "vosotros", and in portuguese it's "vós". Except in Argentinian Castillian, you conjugate it with the second person SINGULAR instead of plural. Which is actually really interesting because you went even further in that evolution I was talking about before: you merge the second person with the third person. That's even more "evolved" in that sense.
But in portuguese we use the "vós" just like "vosotros". For example "vós sois" (="vosotros sois"). This happens both in Portugal and Brasil. Except we over here don't use it that much, and in Brasil they practically don't use it, and instead we (both portuguese and brasilians) use "vocês" (which is the same as ustedes), which is third person. So, we almost always say "vocês são" (="ustedes son", which is conjugated like "ellos son"), (except in very formal situations, like talking to an important figure like a nobleman or woman, where we all use "vós").
So in that sense it's not the same.
However, the decline of usage of "tu" and "vosotros"/"vós" is common in both American Spanish and American Portuguese. So that's what I was talking about. Independently of how you conjugate it.
I hope you understood all I said (sorry it's in English, if you prefer podemos hablar en castellano) and sorry for the long text lol.

No wait! I totally get what you're saying now. Derp.
No, in portuguese they still conjugate the "você" like in third person. Both in Brasil and Portugal.
But in Argentina, you use the "vos" and the "usted" with "eres" which is second person conjugation.
Now I understand! We don't do things the same.
Sorry about the confusion and the long text lol

Yeah I was taliking about the você. I deducted it would be kinda like Spanish with the tu

>I know in some places in Brasil they use the "tu" but then use the verb like it's "você". So they say like "tu é da argentina?" but in reality they're conjugating it like it's the third person. Maybe in Argentina you guys do it like that too? That's really cool.
Yes, in some parts of the country people mix conjugations fo tu and vos, most commonly "vos eres" or "vos quieres"

>Maybe you're talking about the "vos" pronoun. The "vos" in spanish has a completely different origin from "tu" or "usted". It has the same origin as "vosotros", and in portuguese it's "vós". Except in Argentinian Castillian, you conjugate it with the second person SINGULAR instead of plural.
I've just not realized that we do it they other way around from Spaniards, where they use the tu for singular and the vosotros for plural

Being German I suspect you guys use a sort of slippery 'r' which is a very rural feature here in Argentina, specially in the Noth. I am trying to picture a German speaking Argie Spanish to find out which accent/dialect resembles the most. If you could try and remember the name of the region, that'd be great.

Probably the Silesia dialects, it is heavily influenced by Polish (stress in words is on the second syllable from the end, not the first one as in the standard Czech) and also in German in terms of grammar, e.g. not "koleje" for rails, but "šyny/glajzy" from Schienen/Gleisen or "štrample" for stockings from Strümpfe, also we adopted Polish "bo" instead of czech "protože" (because) and many other things. Also it seems pretty fast spoken, compared with the rest of the czech dialects.

In Těšín area of the region, so called "po našymu" is spoken, sometimes considered as a distinct language.
