That's a good point, actually...I know the Northern French look down on the Southern French because they speak funny.
I also have two German colleagues, from opposite ends of the country, who once admitted they find it easier to converse in English because their German accents are so different.

In my experience all French people look down on all others. But isn't France as a unified country a relatively new thing? I think it consists of 5 or 6 regions each with their own language and customs. The French language only became standard about a couple of hundred years ago.

From what I knowAll French people are very happy with each other, apart from Parisians. Everybody hates them and they hate everybody.
