Original Note:
According to Fluency Corp, the US has "roughly 30 major dialects" According to EF Education First, the UK has "almost 40" dialects. The UK is half the size of Texas for comparison, meaning the US does not, in fact, have more dialects. https://fluencycorp.com/american-english-dialects/#:~:text=There%20are%20roughly%2030%20major,each%20dialect%20might%20sound%20like. https://www.ef.com/wwen/blog/language/british-dialects-you-need-to-know/
