The term "Western Dialect" generally refers to a variety of English spoken in the western regions of the United States. This dialect is characterized by specific pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammatical features that distinguish it from other American English dialects. It often includes influences from Spanish and Native American languages due to the region's diverse cultural history. In addition to its unique phonetic traits, the Western Dialect may also incorporate slang and expressions that are specific to local communities. Variations can be found in states like California, Oregon, and Washington, where geographical and social factors contribute to the evolution of the dialect over time.
