dialects...
What is a dialect actually? What is a language?
If you had some knowledge regarding languages, then you know that basically there isn't a real big difference. The real difference is that a language receives an official position as it is backed up by a government.
There is actually this saying: A language is a dialect with an army and navy.
So dialects are not stupid. As claimed recently. They still serve some purpose in society. Bridging a certain social distance is always a little better than appearing too "city-fied" too often.

I like this, "A language is a dialect with an army and navy.
". But why include navy? Cannot just stop at army?
