dialects_9.png The image displays a diagram on a solid light green background. The central feature is a large, horizontal oval filled with a light purple color. Inside this purple area, positioned centrally but slightly below the top section, is the text "American English" written in black. This label indicates that the entire group represents varieties of American English. Contained within this large purple oval are five smaller, distinct ovals filled with a light blue color. These blue ovals do not overlap or touch each other. They are arranged around the center of the larger shape. Each blue oval contains text identifying a specific region or dialect. Reading from the top and moving clockwise: - At the very top center is an oval labeled "The West". - On the right side is an oval labeled "Northern Cities". - At the bottom right is an oval labeled "California". - At the bottom left is an oval labeled "Southern". - On the left side is an oval labeled "Upper Midwest". All text is written in a black, sans-serif font. The diagram visually categorizes these five specific regions as subsets of American English. There are no people or characters present in the image.
