A dialect is a variety of a language that is distinguished from other varieties of the same language by features of phonology, grammar, vocabulary and by its use by a group of speakers who are set off from others geographically or socially. The dialect is a form of the language that is spoken in a particular part of the country or by a particular group of people. A dialect is not the same as an accent. Geographically, dialects are the result of settlement history.
