A dialect continuum is a range of dialects spoken across a geographic area that gradually change from one to another without sharp boundaries. In this situation, neighboring dialects are often similar enough that speakers can understand each other, but as the distance increases, the differences become more noticeable. This continuum illustrates how language evolves and varies over space, reflecting cultural and social influences. It shows that language is not fixed, but rather exists on a spectrum, with each dialect influencing and being influenced by those around it.
