Can your country be split into ethnolinguistic borders?

No. We have a bad case of 56% cities but there are no real territorial boundaries. Many maps show latgale as russian land but the countryside around the few big cities has always been Latvian (even though it's dying out now)
Cameron Campbell
do people still speak these dialects?
Zachary Reyes
Of course
Dominic Richardson
how much in %?
David Evans
The south German ones yeah. With the north it's half/half because under Prussia standard German was heavily promoted
Jeremiah Perez
yes but not so much in the big cities of the north
David Garcia
People from one area usually speak the formal version of the language only when they're interacting with non-dialect speakers.
Christian Taylor
technically they are not dialects but different languages. Standard italian is the dialect of Florence

My father's mother is breton, and my father's father is alsacian. Both did not speak french as their first language. My father grew up in Brittany, but barely learnt any breton, he just knew a couple sentences here and there. His father didn't teach him a word of alsacian. Now here am I speaking french, knowing barely anything about my origins and instead just being shoved under the "french" etiquette. I wish I had inherited some breton or alsacian culture.
On my mother's side, they were savoyards, but all pretty much spoke only french.
Zachary Walker
for context, my father's mother was a teacher, but had been told by the government to forbid any breton at school. She didn't apply those rules of course, but you can imagine that many professors did.

I thought our ethnic and linguistics maps overlapped very little, are you sure we can ?
Julian Gomez
Old people speak only dialect. Young speak it in family or with friends. We use Italian only at work
Brandon Lee
In percentage it's about 50%. Probably people from big cities speak only Italian
Jason Sanchez

not in terronia
Ethan Baker
no, OP is a retard.
Nathan Cruz
Yes, I was thinking about the north
Thomas Robinson
They overlap, but not to the extent the map is showing.
Liam Howard
Other than Silesian it's all the same shit except for certain words. In Greater Poland they're more likely to call potato "kartofel" instead of "ziemniak".

Not since 1945.
