In Greece we speak so many dialects eg North dialect, the islands dialects, the dialects of Crete etc. Although the dialects are many we can understand each other without strong difficulty. One dialect that prevails in the north - the dialect of Thessaloniki - is used by many people. My personal experience with this dialect happened not long ago. As I was leaving Greece one of my north friends told me 《 Na se po tha me lipsis》 instead of the "correct way" 《 Na sou po tha mou lipsis 》= let me tell you something I will miss you. Both sentences have the exact same meaning in Greek but the are written differently . The first sentence sound really wrong in the ears of the non- Norths , so as expected my other friends laughed at her and told her that this is not the correct way saying this and this is not the correct language. To sum up I believe this is a example of a non standard language use, this situation is always happening in Greece and it showcases the not only the difference in the speaking of the north and south but also the superiority that the Athenians believe that they have concerning language and the correct talking .

I live in the north of the city of Tübingen and I am an exchange student , therefore I leave in a student dormitory and I hear everyday so many varieties of languages and of course I am meeting really interesting people. While walking outside of my dorm I hear more English and Italian ( because most of the students are from Italy) than German . English is the language that everyone use is a really strong tool for communication. Eventhough the majority speaks English I can understand their homeland based in the accent , tone and rhythm that they use English, Is amazing to notice that English is one language but every people based on where are they from they speak it in a completely different way. When I have a conversation with European people especially Italians and Spaniards because I am from Greece, we share the same "conversation system " so we talk really loud , we use a lot our hands this phenomenon I haven't yet observed it in Asian people that they have theirs unique ways .

While I was searching a variety of Words on Google Ngram Viewer I noticed that : 1. The word <> follows a declining pattern , the word <>is increasing and lastly the word <> matches the fad pattern. First and foremost I think that the word <> is decreasing because it's an old fashioned word, a term that were used mostly in the 1980's , since now we don't make usage of this term because not many countries have Reign. Secondly the word <> is increasing in the 2000 s in contrast to 1960 because this term its modern due to the Technology.
