仔細聽就可以知道他們講的地地道道的「北京話」和我們所說的「國語」也不是兩回事。當「國語」剩下煮、煨、燉、煎、炒、炸這些「大方向」的動作時，他們還會使用焯、飛水、燒、打沫、擼之類的詞。顏色都還會用棗紅、糖紅、碧綠、翠綠來區分，黏不只黏，還黏糊；顫不只顫，還顫悠。「北京話」和「國語」差異絕對不只兒化音和捲舌問題。問題關鍵當然是在為了方便推行「國語」，人工的、製造的國語便少了很多生活或細節的部份。寫作文章差別愈顯明。平平寫「中文」，「國語」和「北京話」的豐富程度天差地，欲寫贏中國人，真僫。這時台語優勢就出來矣。和北京話仝款，閣保留誠濟用詞幼路的所在，親像炕、燖、煏、𠞭。最近台語文書寫的作家增加也是按呢，使用生活語言寫作，才有可能寫愈好。

Similarities in dialects[edit]

Nota bene–I translate Mrs. Yolland out of the Yorkshire language into the English language.

An accent refers to the degree of prominence of the way syllables are spoken in words, as when someone from Australia says “undah” whereas we say “under.” A regionalism is a type of expression, as when someone says “The dog wants walked,” instead of “the dog wants to go for a walk.” Dialect is a variety of language where one is distinguished from others by grammar and vocabulary. In Pennsylvania you might hear people say that they are going to “red up the room,” which means “to clean the room.”

Douglass made no attempt to retain a plantation accent in his speech or a trace of the slave's servility in his manner.

At the start of 2016, the good folks of the American Dialect Society got together to crown their Word of the Year. They (see what I’m doing here) have decided that the word could now be used as a singular pronoun, flexing the English language so a plural could denote a singular, genderless, individual.

The whole of dialectic concerns the mind and reason, whereas rhetoric and grammar concern language and speech.

The difference between example and enthymeme is made plain by the passages in the Topics where induction and syllogism have already been discussed. When we base the proof of a proposition on a number of similar cases, this is induction in dialectic, example in rhetoric; when it is shown that, certain propositions being true, a further and quite distinct proposition must also be true in consequence, whether invariably or usually, this is called syllogism in dialectic, enthymeme in rhetoric. It is plain also that each of these types of oratory has its advantages.
