The southern dialect refers to the dialects spoken in the three southern atolls traditionally called Huvadu, Fua Mulaku and Addu atoll.
These three atolls are geographically separated from the rest of the Maldives and this has resulted in great dialectal differences between these three atolls and the rest of the Maldives.The dialectal differences between these southern dialects and the northern dialects are so great that speakers of the northern dialects have difficulty understanding the southern dialects.
However, speakers of the southern dialects understand the northern dialects, because of acquired intelligibility, as the northern dialects are so close to standard Dhivehi.

You could say that from city to city the pronunciation is changing, so the farthest the cities, usually the more different is the spoken dialect.
For instance, a characteristic of the Egyptian Arabic is that the sound that in most other Arabic dialects is pronounced as the "J" in "Jim", in Egypt it's pronounced like the "G" in "Gary", so for "camel", they say [gah-mahl] while the rest say [jah-mahl].
So, to try to solve this problem, they use a form of Arabic based on the Sacred Quran, that is the same for all the Arabic speaker countries.

In contrast to the Germans of the Hauerland and Pressburg, whose dialect points to bavarian-franconian origins, the Upper Zipser dialect points to Northwest Germans (Lower Rhineland, Flanders) but who had settled first in neighboring Silesia.
In specific cases, settlers came from other German areas as well, as in Eisdorf, whose inhabitants were brought from the Eisacktal in South Tyrol by their Lord, Bishop Ekbert of Andechs-Meran, who owned land in South Tyrol and in the Zips.
The dialect of the Lower Zips is quite different from that of the Upper Zips, while the area around Lublau, including Hopgarten, spoke a Silesian German dialect.

Some Esperanto speakers, or Esperantists, still want this (they are called pracelistoj), but others just want to use the language to meet foreigners and learn about other countries and cultures (called raŭmistoj).
No new languages or dialects have formed through fragmentation of Esperanto as they do in natural languages, due mainly to the regular nature of the language and its intended field of use.
People tend to create slang and regional variants in the language(s) they use day to day, rather than those used primarily for intercommunication with different-language speakers; in the case of Esperanto, such variations, if heavily different from the official Fundamento version, would make universal comprehension less likely and negate the intended purpose of the language.

Italians generally like it when Americans try to speak Italian because they know it is not widely studied.
However, until recently (and some say even now), regional dialects are so distinct from one another that a Florentine may not understand a Sicilian and many Italian-Americans actually learned a highly regional dialect that few people speak.
However, saying things in Italian is a lot easier than deciphering an answer, especially in dialects, as spoken in Sicily and Southern Italy.

Let's not dwell on the conditional distinction between "should" and "would" which apparently nobody alive understands anymore, though attempts to use it may distinguish speech from writing -- and among British dialects there are differences in which uses "should" and which uses "would" in relevant contexts -- without making the moribund normative distinction.
A final interest of mine is in the different relative frequencies between "oughta" and "should" (in equivalent contexts for "should", not ALL its contexts).
Minnan dialect (Hokkien) also is supposed to have a "neutral tone".
