Why do Dialects Matter?

Mane was born in a small village in the Lori region of Armenia. She learned from a young age that her dialect does not appeal to people in the capital and using words from her dialect while studying in Yerevan has become her biggest challenge. But her perspective changed when she moved to Denmark. Mane is currently employed in an IT company that does not discriminate against any dialects or nationalities. Mane challenges Armenia's discriminatory views on dialects and encourages people not to be ashamed of the dialectic peculiarities that define their uniqueness and identity.
