No, I'm not blonde, I don't come from Essex, and I don't work in a shop. And when I said dialects, I did actually mean differences in language.

It's because Spain used to be different countries - Catalounia, the Basque Requin, etc - and eventually they came to form one country which is the Spain of today. Catalan is a language in itself. The whole thing is kinda similar to the UK which used to be different countries - Wales, England, Scotland, all with different languages - and today it's one country :-)

All countries have dialects. Basque is a language not a dialect. It is not related to other European languages and nobody knows where it comes from 0- only that it must be very old and perhaps comes from people who arrived in Europe before the Indo European speaking peoples. I have always been fascinated by the American accents, and by Australian and New Zealand accents, they are English but not like any English accents spoken in Britain. Language is constantly evolving and changing over time, perhaps in the future more Americans will speak Spanish than English, I wonder how their dialects would differ from present day Spanish ones?

All countries of the World have varying dialects as do we in England, even the Queen speaks with a slight dialect or accent if you will. The area of Britain that speaks the clearest that virtually all can understand is supposed to be around the Inverness area of Scotland; however we from Yorkshire come a close second, dustah nooa wot ah meearns ( do you know what i mean ) ahl si thee

Every language group develops dialects. Basque is not a spanish dialect. It's a totally different language with no "relations" in Europe.
It's history and distance, geographically as well as socially, that leads to the development of dialects.

Try reading Anthony Beevor's book The Battle for Spain. This has a short history of the development of Spain up to the Civil War. It may give you the answer you are looking for.
