The University of Toronto’s Chair of Linguistics, professor Sali Tagliamonte, joined us for an interview about her Ontario Dialects project and talked about her experience studying dialects. We also went into campus and asked a few students about their favourite words and terms from their region.

We would like to acknowledge that The Varsity's office is built on the traditional territory of several First Nations, including the Huron-Wendat, the Petun First Nations, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit. Journalists have historically harmed Indigenous communities by overlooking their stories, contributing to stereotypes, and telling their stories without their input. Therefore, we make this acknowledgement as a starting point for our responsibility to tell those stories more accurately, critically, and in accordance with the wishes of Indigenous peoples.
