Subdialect
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Distinguish". Subdialect (from Latin Template:Wikt-lang, "under", and Ancient Greek Template:Wikt-lang, diálektos, "discourse") is a linguistic term designating a dialectological category between the levels of dialect and idiolect. Subdialects are basic subdivisions of a dialect.[1] Subdialects can be divided further, ultimately down to idiolects. Subdialects of one dialect are generally quite close to each other, differing mainly in pronunciation and certain local words.
