<h3>Noun</h3>
{en-noun}
<ol><li> {linguistics} A variety of a <a href="qd::language">language</a> (specifically, often a spoken variety) that is characteristic of a particular area, community or group, often with relatively minor differences in vocabulary, style, spelling and pronunciation.</li>
<ul><li> <em>A language is a <b>dialect</b> with an army and a navy.</em></li>
</ul>
<li> A dialect of a language perceived as substandard and wrong.</li>
<ul><li> Roger W. Shuy, <em>Discovering American dialects</em>, National Council of Teachers of English, 1967, page 1:</li>
<ul><li> Many even deny it and say something like this: &quot;No, we don't speak a <b>dialect</b> around here. &lt;nowiki&gt;[...]&lt;/nowiki&gt;</li>
</ul>
<li> <em>Linguistic perspectives on black English</em>, H. Carl, 1975, pg. 219:</li>
<ul><li> Well, those children don't speak <b>dialect</b>, not in this school. Maybe in the public schools, but not here.</li>
</ul>
<li> H. Nigel Thomas, <em>Spirits in the dark</em>, Heinemann, 1994, pg. 11:</li>
<ul><li> &lt;nowiki&gt;[...]&lt;/nowiki&gt; on the second day, Miss Anderson gave the school a lecture on why it was wrong to speak <b>dialect</b>. She had ended by saying &quot;Respectable people don't speak <b>dialect</b>.&quot;</li>
</ul>
</ul>
</ol>

<h4>Usage notes</h4>
<ul><li> The difference between a language and a dialect is not always clear, but it is generally considered that people who speak different dialects can understand each other, while people who speak different languages cannot. Compare <b><a href="qd::species">species</a></b> in the biological sense.</li>

<h4>Usage notes</h4>
<ul><li> Examples:</li>
<ul><li> The French <em><a href="qd::nous">nous</a> <a href="qd::demandons">demandons</a></em> means &quot;<em>we <a href="qd::ask">ask</a></em>&quot;, but sounds like &quot;<em>we <a href="qd::demand">demand</a></em>&quot;, which can turn negotiation into confrontation.</li>
<li> The Spanish word <em><a href="qd::embarazada">embarazada</a></em> means &quot;<em><a href="qd::pregnant">pregnant</a></em>&quot;, not &quot;<em><a href="qd::embarrassed">embarrassed</a></em>&quot; &amp;mdash; &quot;<em>Estoy embarazada</em>&quot; means &quot;<em>I am pregnant</em>&quot;, not &quot;<em>I am embarrassed</em>&quot;.</li>
<li> The German word <em><a href="qd::will">will</a></em> (<a href="qd::want">want</a>) is not a future tense marker &amp;mdash; &quot;<em>Ich will gehen</em>&quot; means &quot;<em>I want to go</em>&quot;, not &quot;<em>I will go</em>&quot;.</li>
<ul><li> Same for Dutch and Afrikaans, &quot;<em>Ik wil gaan</em>&quot; and &quot;<em>Ek wil gaan</em>&quot; mean &quot;<em>I want to go</em>&quot;.</li>
</ul>
<li> The Italian word <em><a href="qd::triviale">triviale</a></em> (<a href="qd::vulgar">vulgar</a>) is written almost like <em><a href="qd::trivial">trivial</a></em>, but the two words share only a common Latin root (<em><a href="qd::trivium">trivium</a></em> in Latin means <a href="qd::crossroad">crossroad</a>) and no longer any meaning; &quot;<em>Questo &egrave; triviale</em>&quot; means &quot;<em>This is in bad taste</em>&quot;, not &quot;<em>This is obvious</em>&quot;.</li>
<li> The Danish word <em><a href="qd::gift">gift</a></em> does not mean gift as in present, but can mean a verb form of <a href="qd::married">to marry</a>; <em>Han er gift</em> means <em>He is married</em>. The word for gift is <a href="qd::gave">gave</a>, which is close to the past tense of the verb <a href="qd::giver">giver</a>. If <em>du gav en gave</em>, you gave a gift. Likewise, if <em>du gav en gift</em>, you actually gave <a href="qd::poison">poison</a>.</li>
</ul>
