Τώρα, μήπως μερικά από τα παραπάνω θεωρούνται διάλεκτοι και όχι γλώσσες; Όπως για παράδειγμα τα ελληνικά της Καππαδοκίας ή τα Μεγλενίτικα;
Επίσης, ανακάλυψα πράγματα που δεν ήξερα για τη χώρα που ζω - τι είναι τα gagauz και πώς λέγονται στα ελληνικά; Κι αυτά τα απίθανα κορφιάτικα, πάλι; Ξέρει κανείς τίποτα;
