Dialects

A dialect It is a variant or regional modality that acquires a language that is spoken in large geographic areas, without affecting the unity of the system. Thus considered, dialects are diatopic varieties of language. For example: Andalusian.

In common speech, the word dialect often refers to a language spoken and understood by a minority, or to a native, unwritten language, without sociocultural prestige.

He speaks of Marseilles, for example, it is a variant of French that is very different from that of Paris and for that reason it is neither better nor worse. However, Marseille French is generally considered a dialect, not the Parisian variant, often considered standard French.

Other linguists have defined the word dialect as the form of language used by a smaller group of speakers than speaks the considered main language, or as that linguistic structure simultaneous to another that does not reach the category of language.
