What is a "dialect"?
A dialect is a particular form of a language that is specific to a certain region or group of people, distinguished by unique vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. Dialects can vary widely even within the same language, reflecting cultural and social differences. For instance, American English and British English are dialects of the English language, each with distinct words and phrases, such as "truck" in American English and "lorry" in British English. Understanding dialects is important for grasping the richness and diversity of language as it is used in different communities.
