What is a "regional dialect"?
A regional dialect is a variation of a language spoken in a specific geographic area, where people use unique words, grammar, or pronunciation that may differ from the standard form of the language spoken elsewhere. It reflects the cultural and historical influences of that region, often making the way people speak in one area distinct from those in other areas. Although it is still part of the same language, the differences in the regional dialect may make it harder for people from different regions to fully understand each other.
