There aren't different dialects (that I'm aware of, besides the supposed
Appalachian English) in the US, just different accents. A Southerner speaks
the same American English as a Californian, only with slightly different
(but entirely understandable) pronunciation. From the original post about
Norweigan languages, it sounded like two distinct languages were being
discussed, not two accents.
