Every area has their own dialect and there is no way that it’s going to be changed. Areas and groups of people having their own dialects and ways of talking gives the world a very interesting culture. Without accents, dialects, and other changed forms of traditional language would leave the world a very boring place. The program of linguistic upgrading or language assimilation doesn’t work for some because you can’t really change the way somebody or a group of people have talked for a very long time. Obviously if this plan is going to work then the plan is going to take an extremely long time and it is going to need the patience of our society. Teaching people how to “talk white” so they can be “taught white” to me is racist because people do not need to know how to speak with a certain accent or use of grammar to be taught a certain way. Every person deserves equal teaching no matter their dialect or accent. If Traditional English eventually withered out and some other language such as German or Chinese became the important and dominant language, than all the dialects and accents would start back up again just with a different reform and assimilation of English dialects and accents. Every country and region is going to have its own accent or dialect, which that is just how it’s going to be. Most accents and dialects run down through the roots of a certain region or areas which means it is always going to be there and whether or not you teach “Traditional English”, the barriers are always going to pop up.
