Formal regions are different from functional regions because functional regions often have a focal point, such as a city, that is the center of the region, and the rest of the region is built around that focal point. Examples of functional regions include New York City and Los Angeles. Vernacular regions are developed by ordinary people, often based on their language. Vernacular regions include the American Midwest and South, the Swiss Alps and southern California.
