Question

importance of a vernacular region

Answer 1

A vernacular region is an area that has been identified based on people's perception of culture. 'Vernacular' is a regional language or dialect, which highlights the cultural connection. Consider this: many parts of the southeastern US do not consider most of Florida to be culturally Southern. This means that if vernacular regions were drawn, Florida would not be part of the South. Another example is the age-old 'soda vs. pop' debate.
