Cartadania's large size and diverse history of immigration and colonization have led to the development of distinct regional dialects of the Cartadanian language. Despite these differences, the written form of Cartadanian remains consistent throughout the country, and speakers of different dialects can often understand each other with relative ease. The variations in dialect typically involve differences in pronunciation or the use of certain sounds, much like regional differences in other languages. The dialects spoken in Ceylonia and Porlos, former territories of Cartadania, also exhibit some regional variations from the standard Cartadanian dialect spoken in Cartadania proper. This situation is not unique to Cartadanian, as it is similar to the variations in English spoken in different regions of Caphiria and Alstin.

Cartadanian in Cartadania has developed into twenty-eight regional varieties that collectively form eighteen distinct dialects within the country's ten regions. These dialects differ in various aspects such as prosody, intonation, and word usage, and some may even incorporate local slang. In some areas, the influence of other population groups, such as those in northern Milan and Lotoa, may have a significant impact on the local dialect.

* ''Valerian'' – Spoken in the state of [[Triessa]] along the southern coast, particularly around [[Valorica]]. The fusion of Latin, Cartadanian, and southern Levantian linguistic elements has resulted in a unique dialect and lexicon that is distinct to the area. Valorenos tend to speak with a sing-songy type of accent that is primarily unique to southern Triessa. This intonation is known as Valerian Cadence and is an obvious identifier of someone from this area.

* ''Manderian'' – Spoken in the states of [[Cambria]] and [[São Andreas]], as well as northern and central Triessa, this dialect is the most influenced by old Latin and English. Some of the localities in the region have Germanic origin names and borrow slang from English.

* ''Acarena'' – Spoken in coastal and peninsular [[Acara]]. Similar to the Valerian dialect, it lacks the intonation of Valerian cadence

* ''Mileira'' – Spoken in the vast majority of [[Aleira]], northern Acara, and rural areas of [[Milan]] (mostly the Faible region and far eastern Est region).

* ''Promonto'' – Spoken in the southern Promontoire and western inland portions of the Est region of [[Milan]]. This dialect is most notably spoken in [[Auvergne]].

* ''Charentano'' – Spoken in northern Aleira and the Charente region of [[Milan]]. This dialect especially concentrated around [[Aumiers]]. It is heavily influenced by [[Burgoignesc language|Burgoignesc]] and its vocabulary, with various borrowed words from Burgoignesc. This dialect is also spoken in [[Providência]].

* ''Fortunense'' – Spoken in [[São Ricardo]], it shares many similarities with Charentano and is sometimes considered a sub-dialect. It does, however, retain most of the traits and speech patterns of the Fortuna Latin dialect, such as the debuccalization of syllable-final /s/ and velarisation of syllable-final /n/.

* ''Aleo'' – Spoken in the vast majority of [[Alexandria]], this dialect is influenced by Ettian and early Latin, retaining some words from both, such as the Latin "gratis" and "bis" as opposed to the Cartadanian "obrigado" and "duplo" for "thanks" and "double". (Ex. ''Bis meu pretio para mais detalhes'' instead of ''Duplo meu horário para mais detalhes.'' for "Double my hourly rate for details" in standardised Cartadanian.)

* ''Mendêsano'' – Spoken in the areas of Alexandria and [[Verona]] around Alahuela, but not within the city itself.

* ''Costenho'' – Spoken in the [[Palm Coast metropolitan area|Palm Coast]] region of [[Verona]]. It is sometimes considered a sub-dialect of the Attalense dialect spoken in the rest of Verona, as speakers inside the metro area may be easily recognizable more by their slang than the way the phonology of their speech, which is closer to the standard Cartadanian in the media than other variants. It is known especially for several distinctive traits new to Cartadanian when compared to the other dialects.

* ''Attalense'' – Spoken in the bulk of Verona and the [[Cagliasi]] region of [[Tanoa]]. It has a very characteristic syllable-timed rhythm, which it shares with the Costenho accent, and the greatest tendency to pronounce unstressed vowels as open-mid [ɛ] and [ɔ].

* ''Alahuense'' – Spoken in [[Alahuela]], it is the most textbook-accurate dialect and is often considered "proper" Cartadanian, despite the Attalense dialect being closer to the original language.

* ''Venezana'' – Spoken in western [[Victoria]], it is the dialect most typically associated with the state.

* ''Sonorense'' – Spoken in the eastern regions of [[Victoria]], especially adjacent to Alexandria and the northern coastal areas. Corresponds to the former-Sonora region of the state.

* ''Nitrosa'' – Spoken in northern [[Santiago]], including Carina, and the equatorial forests that stretch into southern Alexandria and southwestern Victoria. It is spoken in both [[Newport]] and Corunha.

* ''Fluminense'' – Spoken in southern [[Santiago]], the [[Santiago Pantanal]], and [[Trentino]]. It is a very rural-developed dialect, and as a result of its striking remarkable differences in comparison to other Cartadanian dialects in phonology, prosody and grammar, often stigmatized as being strongly associated with a substandard variant.

* ''Taliana'' or ''Tanoense'' – Spoken in [[Tanoa]] (except Cagliasi), eastern [[Catania]], [[Tanoa Sul]], and the panhandle of [[Guanilu]]. It is further broken into two varieties, most notably the northern ''Vermelense'' sub-dialect of Tanoa and the southern variety, commonly referred to as the Magnolia dialect.

* ''Etraciana'' – the second-most geographically wide spread dialect, this variety is spoken in western [[Catania]], [[Guanilu]] (except the panhandle), southeastern [[Vitrea]], [[Calaxara]], [[Navarra]], and [[Lipora]]. It is further divided into three sub-dialects, most notably ''Piemonte'' spoken in Catania, ''Vale'' spoken in Guanilu and southeastern Vitrea, and ''Baía Sul'' spoken in Calaxara, Navarra, and Lipora. This dialect is heavily influenced by [[Pelaxia]]n and has a lot of loanwords from the language. Etracianas outside of the Piemonte area also use "tu" as opposed to "você" as in the rest of Cartadania.

* ''Satheriana'' – most commonly associate with the Cartadanian desert forest region, this dialect is spoken in [[Loumara]], [[Montecarlo]], and the majority of [[Vitrea]], though Montecarlo is unique in that there is a large population of Charentais individuals in the state.

* ''Mediano'' – Spoken in [[Lombardia]], [[Toscana]], [[Ferara]], [[Siena]], and [[Santa Domenica]], this dialect is divided into three groups: ''Iordâna'', aka the Lombardia dialect; ''Ursense'', spoken in Toscana and Ferara; ''Sulista'', spoken in Siena and Santa Domenica. Santa Domenica is also particularly influenced by Pelaxian as Maribel Island is shared with Pelaxia. Iordâna is most characterised by its realization of most /ʎ/ as [j]: alho [ˈaʎu] ("garlic") becomes homophonous with aio [ˈaju] ("hired tutor").

* ''Taínea'' – The most geographically widespread and one of the most-widely spoken of the Cartadanian dialects, with approximately 40 million natives, this variety is spoken in [[Aveiro]], [[Bahia]], [[Espírito Santo]], and [[Santarém]]. Porta Bianca is sometimes included in this variety due to similarities, but is most often split from the region due to its unique linguistic situation.

* ''Portense'' – Spoken in [[Porta Bianca]], this dialect is influenced by Burgoignesc, similar to the Charentano dialect, but also has a heavy influence of Pelaxian and indigenous Taínean speech and lexicon. Porta Biancans notably speak much slower than the rest of Cartadania and elongate some vowels. They are also cited as speaking much softer than other dialects.

* ''Lotoense'' – Spoken in [[Lotoa]], this variety is most similar to the Aleo and Attalense dialects with very strong Polynesian influences on the language. Additionally, Lotoan's co-official status alongside Cartadanian has resulted in admixture of the two languages such that Lotoense is quite distinct from the rest of the dialects, both linguistically and geographically.

* ''Solemiana'' – Spoken in [[Solemia]], this variety is more closely related to the Cartadanian dialects of Ceylonia than metropolitan Cartadania. Still, phonetically, the dialect is similar to the Mendêsano dialect, as most of its settlers came from that region.
