The US is not an appropriate comparison in terms of geographical diversity. The US + Canada is unusually homogenous because of its unique and very modern history.
Instead, compare China to Europe, which is far more rich and complex. Heck, there may be more dialects and recognized languages in Italy alone than in the large majority of China.
- justicezyx 5y agoIs there English writings on Italian dialects? Sounds like a really interesting topic. Given Italy's linkage to anticent Roma (and Greek maybe not sure), language dialects probably have a lot to do with the history and culture. Must be full of quriks and surprises!
