* Standard [[Irish language|Irish]] (Gaeilge), [[Scottish Gaelic]] and possibly [[Manx language|Manx]] can be viewed as three standards arisen through divergence from the [[Early Modern Irish|Classical Gaelic]] norm via orthographic reforms.
* [[Komi language|Komi]], a [[Uralic languages|Uralic]] language spoken in northeastern European Russia, has official standards for its [[Komi-Zyrian language|Komi-Zyrian]] and [[Komi-Permyak language|Komi-Permyak]] dialects.
* [[Kurdish language]] has two main literary norms: [[Kurmanji]] (Northern Kurdish) and [[Sorani]] (Central Kurdish). The [[Zaza–Gorani languages]], spoken by some Kurds, are occasionally considered to be Kurdish as well, despite not being mutually intelligible.{{citation needed|date=July 2020}}
*For most of its history, [[Hebrew]] did not have a center. The grammar and lexicon were dominated by the canonical texts, but when the pronunciation was standardised for the first time, its users were already scattered. Therefore, three main forms of pronunciations developed, particularly for the purpose of prayer: [[Ashkenazi Jews|Ashkenazi]], [[Sephardi Jews|Sephardi]], and [[Yemenite Hebrew|Temani]]. When Hebrew was revived as a spoken language, there was a discussion about which pronunciation should be used. Ultimately, the Sephardi pronunciation was chosen even though most of the speakers at the time were of Ashkenazi background, because it was considered more authentic. The standard Israeli pronunciation of today is not Identical to the Sephardi, but is somewhat of a merger with Ashkenazi influences and interpretation. The Ashkenazi pronunciation is still used in Israel by [[Haredi Judaism|Haredim]] in prayer and by Jewish communities outside of Israel.
* [[Lao language|Lao]] and [[Isan language|Isan]], the situation in Thailand is in stark contrast to Laos where the Lao language is actively promoted as a language of national unity. Laotian Lao people are very conscious of their distinct, non-Thai language and although influenced by Thai-language media and culture, strive to maintain 'good Lao'. Although spelling has changed, the Lao speakers in Laos continue to use a modified form of the ''Tai Noi'' script, the modern [[Lao alphabet]].<ref name="LaoLaw">Session VI of the People's Supreme Assembly, II Legislature.

* [[Norwegian language|Norwegian]] consists of a multitude of [[vernacular|spoken dialects]] displaying a great deal of variation in pronunciation and (to a somewhat lesser extent) vocabulary, with no officially recognized "standard spoken Norwegian" (but see [[Urban East Norwegian]]). All Norwegian dialects are mutually intelligible to a certain extent. There are two written standards: [[Bokmål]], "book language", based on Danish (Danish and Norwegian Bokmål are mutually intelligible languages with significant differences primarily in pronunciation rather than vocabulary or grammar), and [[Nynorsk]], "Modern [lit. New] Norwegian", based primarily on rural Norwegian dialects.
*[[Pashto]] has three official standard varieties: [[Central Pashto]], which is the most prestigious{{citation needed|date=November 2018}} standard dialect (also used in [[Kabul]]), [[Northern Pashto]], and [[Southern Pashto]].
* Romance languages
** [[Gallo-Italian languages]] include a great variety of dialects, some mutually unintelligible, and various written standards unrecognised both by [[Italy]] and [[Switzerland]]. [[Lombard language|Lombard]], [[Piedmontese]], [[Friulian language|Friulian]] and [[Istriot]] orthographies exist, with varying degrees of territorial specificity.
** [[Romanian language|Romanian]] in Romania and that in Moldova during the Soviet era, but nowadays, Romania and Moldova use the same standard of [[Romanian language|Romanian]].
** [[Sardinian language|Sardinian]] consists of a [[Sardinian language#Varieties|conglomerate of spoken dialects]], displaying a significant degree of variation in phonetics and sometimes vocabulary. The Spanish subdivision of Sardinia into two administrative areas led to the emergence of two separate orthographies, [[Logudorese dialect|Logudorese]] and [[Campidanese dialect|Campidanese]], as standardized varieties of the same language.
* [[Ukrainian language|Ukrainian]] and [[Rusyn language|Rusyn]] (Priashiv ([[Prešov]]), [[Lemkos#Language|Lemko]], [[Pannonian Rusyn language|Pannonian]]) are either considered to be standardized varieties of the [[Ruthenian language|same language]] or separate languages.
* [[Dutch language|Dutch]] is considered pluricentric with recognised varieties in [[Suriname]], [[ABC islands (Leeward Antilles)|ABC Islands]], [[Belgium]] and the [[Netherlands]].
* The [[Albanian language]] has two main varieties [[Gheg]] and [[Tosk]]. Gheg is spoken to the north and Tosk spoken to the south of the Shkumbin river. Standard Albanian is a standardised form of spoken Albanian based on Tosk.
* The [[Belarusian language]] features two orthographic standards: official Belarusian, sometimes referred to as [[Narkamaŭka]], and [[Taraškievica]], also known as "classical orthography". The division stems from [[Belarusian orthography reform of 1933|1933 reform]] believed by some to be an attempt to artificially similarize Belarusian and Russian languages. Originally, these standards differed only in written form, but due to Taraškievica being widely used among [[Belarusian diaspora]], it grew some distinct orthoepic features, as well as differences in vocabulary.
* [[Afrikaans]] varieties of [[South Africa]] and [[Namibia]].
