    Norwegians seem lo love linguistic about as much as Finns do. Because of this enthusiasm, people have been making extremely detailed dialect maps for decades. My guess is that these two countries are the exception and the rest of the world focuses on funding other types of research.

      That’s possible, but that doesn’t really answer my question which was if the dialect is the same/similar for each group internally on the map, or just a very rough generalisation. The map covers some incredible distances so it would surprise me if they managed to keep a consistent language across it all that space. Didn’t mean to dunk on the map if that’s how you interpreted it.
