Language and dialects, 4/18

Ever wonder how different dialects come to be about? Language is a beautiful and often complex thing. Sometimes it can be difficult traveling to a place and finding out there are even more language barriers because of the different dialects. There may be more than one reason to explain these dialects, but one common reason is when two languages start to blend into one another to form a new one.
In this article, it explains the differences in language. I find this article to be very interesting because I never really think of the origins of different languages. In the Philippines, there are many different dialects. My parents speak two different forms, so growing up, I was always taught a few phrases from each of the dialects, so I can definitely relate when people say that language in general can be quite complex.
