Dialect Panic

What is Dialect Panic?


1.

a phenomenon that may or may not happen when a speaker of a language tries to communicate with another speaker of a different dialect.

For example, a Spanish speaker from Mexico might worry that he might have trouble communicating with the Spaniards or perhaps, when an American trying to speak with Australians.

I always have a dialect panic when I'm traveling out of USA.
