Language or dialect? • If person A and B speak different language systems (vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation), but can understand each other when each is speaking their own language system, they are speaking dialects of the same language. • If they cannot understand each other, they are speaking different languages.

  3. Language or dialect? The three most important discoveries of linguistics (people who study language) are: (a) all languages and dialects are systematic, they all follow rules that dictate pronunciation, word meaning, sentence structure, and the structure of larger items such as conversations or stories. (b) all languages are in a constant state of change, (c) dialect diversity is because different groups of people change in different way.
