why does such a small island have such a large variety of ac

A few generations ago it was pretty to ever leave the place you grew up. Possible exception for London.

>>72792317
>pretty rare

so does every place and no matter the population

>>72792317
This, prior to the Industrial Revolution.

your language is not special or unique in any way.

>>72796066
but it has a large variety of accents and dialects though

>>72796302
Just like every other language. We also have many.

>>72796402
yeah but we're a small island and still have a large variety of both accents AND dialects

>>72796523
You really don't, go to Italy for a large viarety of accents

>>72796511
falkland islands

>>72796568
people in england cant understand people in scotland

thats a very large variety of accent desu

>>72792239
It's not weird at all. Smaller countries than the UK have mutually unintelligible dialects. The Americas are the exception, because they've not had time to develop proper individual dialects like Europe, Asia etc. (and probably won't in the future)

>>72796523
yes, so are we and everybody else.

>>72792239

Overdoing it a bit lad

>>72796709
>>72796718
not america tho

>>72796764
i literally said old world in my post, america is not old world

>>72796635
There is people in Ireland I cannot understand.

>>72796890
now thats a wide range of accents and dialects for you

>>72796635
Hardly. Only the broadest of Scots are hard to understand.

>>72796956
And it is not people on the otherside of the Island, it is people in the counties next over.
People in Dublin found it hard to understand me and I am from westmeath.

>>72797009
VERY large range of accents of dialects!

>>72797073
LARGE variety and range of accents?

>>72797215
actually laughed so hard at this

>>72797215
I genuinely didn't understand a single word except for the interviewer.

>>72797215
>at 1:00
What language is that?

>>72792479
I didn't think Finnish had that many accents? Are there [finnish] accents that you can barely understand?

>>72798859
English.

>>72797215
It's just as much the fact that it's old drunk men mumbling that makes it hard to understand rather than just the dialect though.

>>72799986
is that why it's so difficult to understand danes?

>>72800129
The dialects they speak in the Northern and Western most parts of Jutland are pretty hard to understand because it's mostly spoken by mumbling old men.

>>72796402

no you don't.

Stop being an obtuse autist

Suðuroy is the only one that's markedly different.

>>72801480

Oh and this is most heavily affected by my usage of "spoken language" or colloquial speech.
