They used to be forced on kids in school, especially in Europe. French is really Parisian French of 200 years ago - several dozen dialects got wiped out in the name of nationalism. Same with Germany mostly speaking northern German and even Bavaria barely uses their own dialect. Imo this is bad, very bad. Local language is defense of local community.
