Coming from a regular English person (me) they’re interchangeable. There’s probably some minor difference which a proper grammar nerd would know but regulars like myself just use either. I don’t think there’s any regional difference. I personally prefer ‘nevertheless’ but that’s just a preference. 😊

I think from what I’ve read and my own feeling, the twowords can be and are often used interchangeably. However, the position of the word (either before or after the clause it modifies) might make the sentence “feel” more natural to a native speaker. …
Therefore, I might say, “Shanghai is not as big as Beijing, but it’s still a big city NONETHELESS.” Or “Shanghai is not as big as Beijing, but NEVERTHELESS, it’s still a big city.”
Nevertheless I think of as committing to an idea or action in spite of some reasonable facts. Nonetheless I think as no diminished quality or value.
For example:
I know science largely has disproven the existence of ghosts. Nevertheless, I still believe.

@Gedney2001 Wow thank you so much, this is incredibly helpful!!
So if I got this right, Nonetheless is more preferably used at the beginning or end of a sentence and nevertheless somewhere in between?
Position-wise, could I treat nevertheless like still?
So could I say "Shanghai is not as big as Bejing, but it's nevertheless a big city?" as well?
thanks so much anyway!
