When we hear language our brain dissects the sounds to extract meaning. However, two people who speak the same language may have trouble understanding each other due to regional accents, such as Australian and American English. In some languages, such as Japanese, these regional differences are more pronounced than an accent and are called dialects. Unlike different languages that may have major differences in grammar and vocabulary, the dialects of a language usually differ at the level of sounds and pronunciation.

It is known that pitch changes activate both hemispheres, whereas word meaning is preferentially associated with the left-hemisphere. Before & After examples - Information Mapping.
