'''Dialect''' is a subclass of language that is exclusive to a particular region or community. This includes variations in pronunciation, vocabulary and [[grammar]] that differentiate it from other forms of the same language.

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 landscape without clear boundaries. There are often significant differences in pronunciation and other language features, therefore the classifications are indefinable.

The landscape of dialects is described as a continuum. As Chambers et al. (1998) write, linguistic variation becomes apparent when a person travels from one place to another. These differences accumulate gradually and become more intense  as one moves away from the initial point. Neighboring places typically comprehend each other's dialects, but those at the edges of the continuum will have difficulty comprehending each other as it corelates with the geographical distance.

== Dialect and language ==

''Dialect'' and ''language'' are two distinct terminologies. The term language has a superior position, while dialect is a subordinate term that is under the domain of [[language]]. Therefore, the correct analogy is ''"A is the dialect of language B"'' instead of ''"B is the language of dialect A."''

''Dialect'' is a term that often implies informal speech. It is specific to particular geographic areas and includes a broader range of linguistic features, such as pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar. For example, people from London and people from Cardiff speak English, but their usage of words and phrases can vary greatly. ''Accent'' is also associated with a particular region, but it refers to pronunciation patterns and its linguistic elements are not as extensive as dialects.
