How many dialects in the world?
A "dialect" is a local version of a language. For example in British English there are many local dialects, some of which are dying out or have become obsolete: Scots dialect, Norfolk dialect, Liverpool dialect or Scouse, Tyneside dialect or Geordie, Birmingham dialect or Brummie and many more. Each dialect will include words not found outside that locality, such as the Geordie word "hinny" as a term of endearment or the word "haad" (hold).
No scientific study has ever been carried out on the number of regional dialects throughout history and throughout the world; simply coping with the major languages is difficult enough.
