Dialect
Dialect is a subclass of language that is exclusive to a particular region or community. It includes variations in pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar that differentiate it from other forms of the same language.
Variation
The concept of dialectal variation is understood in relation to geographical areas where the same linguistic features are shared. This indicates that dialects are bounded within a specific region. However, an opposing view suggests that dialects form a continuum without clear boundaries. There are often significant differences in pronunciation and other language features, therefore the classifications are indefinable.
