Default English Dialects

Could you tell me where I can find any information about english dialects and its grammar. I'm writing a degree work about verbs in english dialects and can't find anything about it in the Internet.

Thank you very much!

I don't think you will find a link that will describe verbs in all the dialects. The topic is huge as there are thousands of English dialects world wide.

Just type in:

verbs in British English dialects
verbs in American English dialects
...New Zealand/Australian, etc.... into the Google (or whichever one you like) search engine and see what you get. This is an interesting topic but without narrowing it down, it will require a lot of research on your part.

Good luck!
