I know, there are loads of discussion of this in sociolinguistics, but I've yet to read one at our wonderful ResearchGate. So, what are your personal opinion of The future of Dialects?

Will we experience more or less of them and what will their characteristics be?

Will we be more fluent in more or less dialects and will our tolerance towards other (than our primary) change, from what is generally considered today - which I'd argue very generally, is that we commonly have less tolerance towards more foreign dialects or hierarchies of dialects which we still can relate to and more tolerance towards those we know of but don't experience often).

Will dialects be completely extinct or will we be drowned by them?
