>Linguistically and culturally, the US has massive differences within it. Culturally: Compared to a small European country--yes. Compared to the EU-- not at all. Linguistically: 92% of the US speaks English. Within that group, dialectical differences are relatively small even compared with much smaller countries like the UK. African American vernacular english is the only major dialect that is different enough to really impact communication, and even then, the majority of African Americans (and speakers of other smaller regional dialects) can easily understand the prestige dialect. |
