Abstract
What is the importance of studying dialects? Dialects are specific forms of language that are particular to a region or culture. While dialects influence the way we speak, they also reveal the culture and history of a language and how it developed based on the different regions the same language was spoken. The following project focuses on my dialect, which is a mix of Southern English Dialect and Western English Dialect. This comes largely from my growing up in Western Washington, but the Southern influences from my family. This project reveals what influences the way that we speak, how we can identify those influences, and what that reveals about our history and culture.
