We can make regions out of ways a word is pronounced or its meaning.

Think about this as you read through these: we can make a region out of anything. A region is a classification of a collection of similar people, geographic descriptions, and human cultures, but we can make regions of how a certain area says a word or uses a similar definition. That’s crazy! A region can be anything you want to make it categorize people’s similarities.

Examples:

We live in South Carolina, so we are South Carolinians.

We live in the South, so we are southerners.

We live in America, so we are Americans.

We live in the Western Hemisphere, so we are westerners.
