Default Re: variants vs. variables

I think I got it, thank you guys.

If I try to put it in a "cause and effect" kind of context with variables being the cause and variants being the effect, would this work?

Variables being geography, time, ect, there have come to be variants of Chinese language wich are Cantonese, Taiwanese, Southern dialects, Northern dialects and so forth.

Does this work?

Thanks
