Consider the following sentence:
You makin’ sense, but you don’ makin’ sense!

Speakers of the standard dialect of English are likely to conclude that this sentence is ungrammatical.

The first clause lacks a (finite) verb that the standard dialect requires and the sequence do+ be in the second clause is a combination that the standard dialect prohibits.

Speakers of the standard dialect might also question the logic of the sentence (and hence, as has unfortunately happened, the logical abilities of its utterer).

After all, the two clauses appear to contradict each other.

No human language is fixed, uniform, or unvarying; all languages show variation. Actual varies from group to group, and speaker to speaker, in terms of the pronunciation of a language, the choice of words and the meaning of those words and even the use of syntactic constructions.

To take a well known example, the speech of American is noticeably different from speech of the British, and the speech of these two groups in turn is distinct from the speech of Australians.

When groups of speakers differ noticeably in their language, they are often said to speak different dialects of the language.
