for example, i’ve heard of the U.S. dialect of Spanish.

some states like mine (Minnesota) have american norwegian (which I might learn along with european Norwegian)

does chicago speak the european version or is there a us dialect?

    I’ve been told my polish sounds “old”. I know only a little bit, learned from grandparents and great grandparents. However they were speaking in the early 1900s when they left Poland for the US, that’s the Polish I grew up hearing.

    I grew up in the Midwest where there were quite a few 2nd, 3rd, + generation Polish Americans. Now I live on the East Coast where there are more people who immigrated from Poland in the last ~20 years in addition to the generational families and they sound quite a bit different from what I grew up with.
