#dialect-al
Beste redactie van @trouw.nl, Bretons is geen dialect van het Frans, maar al vele eeuwen een aparte, Keltische taal.

I don't have that much of an accent anymore but I apparently still have the AL dialect.

No, trans woman; I did not refer to you as “him”. I said “‘em”, a standard clipping of “them”. Phonetically identical to “‘im” (standard clipping of “him”) due to the /pɛn/→/pɪn/ merger (Labov et al., 2006) in my Southern dialect. I apologize on behalf of the English language?

Nederlands is een Haarlems dialect beïnvloed door Antwerpse vluchtelingen. Antwerpse vluchtelingen die 300 jaar terug net zo'n maatschappelijke deining veroorzaakten als vluchtelingen nu. Niks mis met dialect. Mijn pa kon zich verstaanbaar maken tot achter Kassel, dan zit je al heel ver in Duitsland
Echt oprechte vraag. Ik begrijp dialect nooit en ik vindt dat mensen wat beter hun best moeten doen om correct Nederlands te spreken en schrijven.

Nu spreek ik het dialect van Daniel Lohues redelijk😁
Al ben ik geboren in een plaatsje onder de rook van Zwolle.

The idiom "time flies" is "al woqt sif" in Moroccan dialect which means "time is a sword." There is a longer version of the idion, "Time is a sword, when you cut it it cuts you (al woqt sif, tqta3, yqqtak).
I love the ineffability of idioms, my favorite is "Speak of the Devil." In Spanish it's "Speak of the King of Rome" and in French it's "Speak of the wolf" but the best is Swedish, it's "When you speak of the trolls, they are standing in the hallway."
How to say "once bitten, twice shy" around the world...

It's funny, for me this dialect quiz has gotten less accurate over time -- because I've picked up words and sayings I learned from the quiz 🤪

Compare to my original results (2nd pic) which were freakishly accurate: I'd been raised near Norfolk and was living in Durham

Haha, we kregen er al een vraag over van een Duitse vrouw die Onze Taal leest en haar Nederlands wil verbeteren. Ze wilde graag weten welk dialect dit was en waar ze de wooden kon opzoeken.

🇺🇦 @lisaweeda.bsky.social over verdwenen standbeelden, billboards in bezet Cherson, hoe Gorki denigrerend over de Oekraïense taal sprak ('een dialect’), over omstreden boeken en verboden letters 👇
Taal is een machtsmiddel, taal telt altijd
De Russische taal beukt al eeuwen imperialistisch op de Oekraïense taal in.

In Morocco they call standard Arabic, that they use in education & media & to talk to Arabs across the world, "al-lourgha al-arabia," or "the Arabic language," & they call what their dialect that's mutual unintelligible with standard Arabic is "darija."

Helaas werd hij ook het slachtoffer van mijn dialect. Helm wordt al snel eens “nen ellem” en deze ochtend wou die dus “nen emmer, nen emmer!” op zijn hoofd zetten.

Leuk weetje.

Mijn eerste camping was in de Haute Viennes op de grens met de Dordogne.
In de bosrand bloeide daar in februari al de Affodille, 1000en kleine witte bloemetjes, in lokaal dialect Pourettes genoemd, brenger van het voorjaar.
Vond ik mooi. Vandaar dus Les Pourettes.

#IvanHeylen stond in 1974 4 weken op 1 in Nederland met 'De wilde boerndochtere'. Het was zijn eerste hit in Nederland ook al konden ze er niks verstaan van zijn dialect. In België scoorde Heylen eerder al met 'De Werkmens'.

‘De kerstkoekjes zijn nu al slof.’
Wat vind jij van het woord ‘slof’ in deze betekenis? Standaardtaal, verouderd, dialect-achtig, ongewoon? Zou het (nieuw) leven moeten worden ingeblazen? Of ken je het überhaupt niet?

In Libya, I love how tea culture centers around a serious social institution known as Shahi al-Alla. This ritualized setting serves as the epicenter for rapid-fire community bonding and a heavy local dialect that most of us Arabs don't even understand.

"Heard the talk, lost the translation."

Unintelligible Dialect features Shahi al-Alla as a potion that induces caffeine jitters and hyper-local dialect fluency. Honestly, this thick, foamy brew might be the reason the rest of the Arab world struggles to keep up with Lybian slang.

If anyone wants to know why I'm a little cranky on the internet sometimes, "getting my own dialect mansplained to me by someone who has literally never met me and then called illiterate" is only about the sixth most deserved block of the last few weeks

Once again cannot post the results of the dialect quiz because my combination of accent + regional expressions is a little TOO identifying on Al Gore’s internet

duolingo is now insisting the Spanish translation of "I am going to go to the museum" is "Voy para el museo." I have never seen para used for "to" in this form anywhere, it should be "a" (or al, in this case) but if there is some dialect where that's right, let me know?

otherwise, duolingo washed
