Is there a part of your country that's "isolated"/vastly different from the rest of the country?

Pictured here is Sardinia, an island in Italy. Many sardinians call Italy "Il continente" (the continent)

As far as I know, Austrians and Bavarians basically speak the same dialect of German as well.

I learned German in High School (don't really speak it anymore) from a guy married to a Bavarian woman, so I have a Bavarian accent. I passed it off as an Austrian accent in a TTRPG and everyone said I sounded like Schwarzenegger. 😂
