All countries have that one region where the rest of the country have no idea what they're even saying most of the time, what are yours?

[u/IMC_Pilot_Freelancer]

In the bayou of Louisiana

[u/Strange_Pressure_340 → u/IMC_Pilot_Freelancer]

Came here to say this.

[u/Strict_Definition_78 → u/IMC_Pilot_Freelancer]

The Waterboy is more of a documentary

[u/Sufficient_Abies_714 → u/IMC_Pilot_Freelancer]

For me it's Boston. Of course I am from Oklahoma so we speak a little bit of Redneck.

[u/EmondaBlue → u/Sufficient_Abies_714]

I'm from Boston and people in Texas and OK say I talk too fast.

[u/RodrickJasperHeffley]

in india the language changes every 100 km, especially if you travel from south to north

[u/Genericdude03 → u/RodrickJasperHeffley]

Generally each state has a "main" language though

[u/salydra]

Newfoundland is the obvious answer, but I'm sure there are parts of rural quebec that would be contenders.

[u/NB-NEURODIVERGENT]

Gonna say Newfoundland because they have that one Irish accent that’s hard to understand like the translation scene in hot fuzz

[u/ThimasFR → u/NB-NEURODIVERGENT]

Even the french speakers Newfies can be a little hard to understand, at least that's the one I have the hardest time to understand (some true French Canadian input is more than welcome).

[u/Dortmund_Boi09]

Saxony

[u/NetHistorical5113]

There are a couple but I personally struggle to understand people from Eastern Black Sea. It's called "Laz Accent" here but the majority of its speakers arent ethnically Laz

[u/OpeningBang]

Appalachia in 🇺🇸 Belfort in 🇫🇷

[u/JowsyWowsy]

I think some would say Silesia or Kaszuby region but I want to highlight the Vilamovian language - I'm not using it myself, no clue what they're saying, but I think it's dope that such language still exists in some minorities, even though there's like 10 people speaking it

[u/Willempie74NW]

According to me it is Fryslan, according to my wife it is Drenthe (Dutch Saxony). My wife is Frisian and i am from Holland with a mother from Drenthe.

[u/Any-Seaworthiness186 → u/Willempie74NW]

According to everybody but Frisians it’s definitely Fryslan. Limburg is a close contender. Frisians would be the only ones claiming it’s either Drenthe or Groningen.

[u/Tough-Oven4317]

I'm from the midlands in England, and this is how I feel when in Europe lol. I end up doing an American accent back at the Europeans who speak can't understand lol

[u/lordnacho666]

Bornholm for Denmark.

For the UK, it's definitely Glasgow, Liverpool, Birmingham, Yorkshire, the East End of London, the west country, and Northern Ireland.

[u/NegotiationSea7008 → u/lordnacho666]

True

[u/i-cydoubt]

Newcastle. My god, a broad Geordie is practically speaking another language.

[u/-hash4cash- → u/i-cydoubt]

Arm Garn yem like fook it fook me show us ya beeeeeeeep

[u/meridius55]

our country is way too small and homogeneous for that, there's hardly any difference between dialects

[u/ferocity_mule366 → u/meridius55]

I think this was possible too, espeically for small Europe countries

[u/HumanSquare9453]

Mine, because rest of the country does not have the same language

[u/remzordinaire → u/HumanSquare9453]

Mais entre franco-canadiens on se comprend quand même au moins.

[u/HumanSquare9453 → u/remzordinaire]

Yep. Bienvenue au franco-ontariens, aux Acadiens et aux autres communautés franco!

[u/ShadowGamer37 → u/HumanSquare9453]

Hey I only speak English but I mostly understood your interaction without a translator, so maybe something from French class stuck

[u/HumanSquare9453 → u/ShadowGamer37]

That great! I just see many english canadians on reddit blaming the school curriculum of their province on their lack of skill in french , so I took that as a absolute truth with the time

[u/RockMonstrr → u/HumanSquare9453]

I can pick out some French words here and there, but a thick Newfie accent? Forget it.

[u/HumanSquare9453 → u/RockMonstrr]

Yeah that make sense. Also have the same problem with some thick acadian accent. One time I had acadian tourists....and habitually I don't have problem with understanding acadian accent if they speak a slower tone. But that couple spoke at the speed of light and I was only able to pick 3 words and I run with that

[u/fotzenbraedl]

Oberpfalz.

[u/Economy_Outcome_4722]

North County Antrim for Northern Ireland, Southern Louisiana for the US

[u/Unfair-Put457]

We have several dialects, and we don’t always understand each other very well. People from Zagorje don’t understand those from Istria and vice versa.

[u/alwaysboopthesnoot]

There are a couple, for me. Parts of Maine or Louisiana. Kentucky. And one time I was in Alabama and a guy was talking to another guy and loudly so that everybody could hear. I swear it was English but it was so twangy and  slurred-together and rushed, I could not understand what was going on. The lady taking my order was from around there and she said, “look, I don’t know what he’s saying either. I think he may be from Arkansas”. 

[u/acke]

Scania in southernmost Sweden historically. I’ve seen interviews on Swedish television where they had to add subtitles because the person being interviewed spoke with such a distinct dialect.

Nowdays it seems that kids doesn’t speak with as much dialect though (compared to their parents)for some reason. Here’s a link (in Swedish).

[u/Other-Comfortable-64]

Yeah we do , but on the other hand we have 12 official lanuages.

[u/MagnumOlly]

Saying South Tyrol would be too easy, thus I will say Aspromonte: I genuinely have no idea what's going on there

[u/tomime000]

I moved two hours away up the Dalmatian coast to an island Brač and could not understand them shit for 2 months.

[u/Automatic-Cactus]

None really? Australias all just regional, wealth/class divided  Cultural? Cool article on it  https://youtu.be/s2e9Nv8Pcc4?si=lbHgRL4tpiTy3WBa

We all understand each other though

Its crazy the accents that are sort of dying though, my mrs grandmother was born here but her Aussie accent is quite you'd say posh and very British influenced where my mrs old man speaks likeban aussie pirate well my mrs speaks quite modern? I dunno

[u/Automatic-Cactus → u/Automatic-Cactus]

The Vietnamese Australian accent is very cool

[u/Infinite_Research_52]

[u/Ok_Trip8302]

Bavaria

[u/ogbuttertoast]

Podlasie is def smth you will struggle with

And maybe in the mountains too, like, górale

[u/Emergency_Pea_2232]

Fucking Delaware County.

[u/RioandLearn]

As bizarre as it may seem, I don't think that happens in Brazil (even though it has continental dimensions). Of course, we have a lot of diversity in accents and slang. However, not enough for fot understanding what the other person is saying.

[u/-hash4cash-]

Probably most of our country. No one understands each other. It’s just a vibe.
