Hangkerimce is not a language with major dialectal differences... this is
probably done by the nature of the way Hangkerimce is pronounced, where
according to the emphasis of the morphemes of a sentence the sounds have =
several
changes.  The "official" dialect is the same in the three countries and c=
ity
people will usually understand eachother with no difficulty... this offic=
al
dialect is the way a carefull speaker will use in a speech, the dialect t=
ought
at school and the dialect used in radio broadcasting (television broadcas=
ting is
not as common as in our world)... Probably massive education and mass med=
ia had
helped Hangkerimce not to split, dinamic of moving people, mainly religio=
us
teachers, is another posibility.

When compared with Kizidanoce or language description by Spanish priestes=
 or
English adventurers, or the documents of the Orthography reform of 1863 A=
D, it
seams that pronunciation shifts has occured, at last in the last 500 year=
s, but
despite the great territory traders, soldiers, preaches and a lot of peop=
le have
been always able to move around and religious teachings have always used =
an
uniformed language.

The non-official dialects are simple variations on the exact phones and p=
honetic
variations people use and choice of words, but most dialects are intellig=
ible
eachother, with the exception of the dialects of some bordering communes,=
 or
some Caribbean islands.  (Kizidanoce is not counted as a dialect, even if=
 a
Cartagena dweller will understand better a Kizidano than a dweller of Yen=
gdalim
- OTL Jamaica).
