‘ Regional dialect: A regional dialect is not a distinct language but a variety of a language spoken in a particular area of a country. Some regional dialects have been given traditional names which mark them out as being significantly different from standard varieties spoken in the same place.

Some of the most famous characters in literature are written with a distinct mode of speech that ties them to a social class, ethnic group or even a specific region. Writing accents and dialects into your dialogue can give characters an authentic personality and presence. It can also render them incoherent.

Standard languages arise when a certain dialect begins to be used in written form, normally throughout a broader area than that of the dialect itself. Even a standard language that was originally based on one local dialect changes, however, as elements of other dialects infiltrate into it over the years.
