If clearly perceivable differences in "the way they talk" is now enough to declare places to be "very different" culturally, then I can confirm that Provence and Languedoc are "very different".
Needless to say, by global standards they aren't. Locally, sure, someone from Village A can immediately spot a "stranger" from Village B downriver, but such standards actually minimize the vast differences that can actually be found on this planet, because if French Village A is considered "very different" from French Village B, you'll need to invent new words to be able to describe how different French Village A is from Mumbai or Jakarta.
