??? C'mon Ramil. At least give us broad ones like okan'e and akan'e! Or do you mean that жгёшь is just an error, not a dialectism?

Do you also mean that there are NO dialects in English either, because we are all speaking the same language?
Well, I don't think English has dialects. (Unless you call BrE and AmE dialects). Probably Africaans

You can call some speech a dialect when the same word has a different meaning.
But, please, don't share your ideas with linguists, and particularly with dialectologists, OK?

My, you mustn't mention them to any English language student who can draw several maps with dialectal borders from heptarchy time, and it's more than 1,000 years ago, up to our days...
