Abstract

Dialect is a variety of language used by people from a particular geographic area. This language is a complete system of verbal communication with its own vocabulary and grammar ("Dialect").In America today, the common language is English. But what does English mean? While Standard English is still the most commonly accepted language, there are many dialects within the English language. There exists American English, British English, and Indian English ("Dialect"). Within American English, there exists southern English, northeastern English, Californian English, and even Hoosier English. So, if in American there is a large amount of dialects throughout the country, how is each dialect to communicate with the others?
