There’s no concrete rules for where a dialect ends and a language begins. It’s often a huge debate and point of contention among linguists for decades before it gets sorted out.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on how you communicate with people who speak Québecois French. As a fluent French speaker (1st language English) it took me years but I finally do ok…

you should read about linguistic pidgins and creoles in the USA. I think that it might describe exactly what you're talking about and give several examples!

I grew up in the north east. Once when I was in a cruise I met someone from West Virginia. They were a cool person but I could not understand them for the life of me.

My friend showed me a show she liked from BBC. There was one character that I needed subtitles for. No idea where the accent/dialect was from.

when a language gets a grammatica is when it’s official - same how italian spanish and french were all just “latin dialects” until like 1600!
