Just wanna clarify by "they sound the same" I meant the pronounciation of the pronouns, but you might have figured that out already

Yeah, by your definition there are many for sure

Generally speaking, mutually intelligibility is regarded as the best way to decide whether something is a dialect or a language.. with a few exceptions in Europe because everything is eurocentric. Norwegian, Swedish and Danish are considered in linguistics to be mutually intelligible, but they will always be referred to as three separate languages despite qualifying to be one language with a lot of varieties. You also have Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian who are also mutually intelligible but for political/historical reasons are regarded as three separate languages. Mm..

It really doesn't make sense to speak of "Chinese" as a language, because so many of the dialects are completely impossible to understand even if you speak "Chinese". When people say Chinese, they usually mean Mandarin. As someone who understands Mandarin, I don't understand any Hokkien (my mother's/grandparents' native language) for example.

Yeah
