What is "dialectology"?
Dialectology is the study of different dialects within a language. It focuses on how language varies across regions, social groups, or communities, examining differences in pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar. Dialectology helps researchers understand why these variations occur and how they reflect the culture or history of a particular group. It also explores how dialects change over time and how they interact with one another within a language.
