Are there any dialects in England?

Question 1: Who knows which dialects in Britain use [English] [as the official language? In addition, Welsh [Welsh], Irish Gaelic [Irish Gaelic], [Ulster Scottish], Scottish Gaelic [Scottish Gaelic] and Cornwall [Cornish] are the official languages in all regions of Britain.

Question 2: Are there any dialects in English? Of course there is.

The English dialect mentioned here refers to the local dialect of Britain. The following English dialects are significantly different from standard English in grammar, word order and spelling. Generally speaking, these English dialects and standard English are two completely different languages. In addition, these English dialects are even significantly different from standard English in tense.

So we should distinguish English types like American English, because although there are some differences between American English and British English, unlike the above English dialects, American English and British English can be connected, but these English dialects are impossible.

Question 3: Can British people understand all English dialects? Of course not, just like you know Mandarin, but do you know all the dialects in China?

Question 4: What's the difference between American language and British language?

English learners sometimes notice the differences between British English and American English. In fact, there are many kinds of English in the world, not only English and American English. There are many different American English dialects in America alone. If you have been to Boston, new york, Miami, Dallas and Los Angeles, you will find that the pronunciation, vocabulary and even grammar in these places are slightly different from those in other places. Similarly, if you have been to London, Birmingham, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Dublin and other places in the UK, you will also find differences among cities.

If you meet an American and an Englishman at the party, you can tell them through their conversation in a few minutes. The most obvious clues are of course pronunciation, such as dancing, butter, no, birds and so on. Not only the pronunciation of consonants and vowels is different, but also the stress position is often different.

The second most obvious difference between English and American English is the words used. The same thing is called differently in America and Britain. Here are some of the most common examples:
