Best Answer

A spoken regional dialect is a dialect of a language that exists as a spoken (but not written) dialect in some area. For instance, using English as an example, there is an area of the American Southeast where people use something called double modals ("I might could help you with that" as opposed to "I might be able to help you with that") when speaking, but not in writing.

Since you asked this question in the Non-English section, German is a language comprised almost completely of a horde of very different dialects. However, the German government has been working for the last few hundred years to stamp these out. Take Saxon German, a dialect of German spoken in a region in the East bordering on the Czech Republic--one can speak Sächsisch (I'm not getting into a discussion here of where and when, since that is very much a personal choice), but one should not, say, write an essay in it.

In this tradition, characters in books can speak the dialect, but a book itself is very rarely written in a spoken regional dialect, and it's mostly for effect.

What Spanish dialect is spoken in Spain?

Dialects are a variation of the same language. In Spain the basic language is Spanish. Andalucia is one basic dialect but believe it or not there are dialects within Andalucia so distinct that a specific village can be identified. Castillian is a dialect also. It just happens to be the dialect recognized by the Spanish Royal Academy as the correct way to speak Spanish. There are other dialects in the same areas where regional languages are spoken. Regional languages spoken in Spain are not Spanish languages, they are differant languages. They are Catalonia (around Barcelona), Galician (around Bilbao), and Basque which is spoken in the area between the other two languages.
