Dialect

A dialect is a variation of a language spoken by a specific group of people, often influenced by regional, social, or cultural factors. It encompasses differences in pronunciation, vocabulary, and sometimes grammar. These differences help distinguish one group’s way of speaking from others, even when they share the same language. For example, British English and American English are dialects of the English language, with variations in words and pronunciation. Dialects reflect the diversity within a language and offer insight into the history and identity of the communities that speak them.
