Is it too late for me to inject “not my fault” in that one?
Regional dialects splinter further within the region, keeping one language would be hard without some form of “parity check” to keep everything neat.
The French try that with their language.
They had an office dedicated to keeping the language ‘pure’ or as close to it as they can.

Still can't understand them. Those French have a different word for everything...
