?Which word?
dialect, accent and language
A dialect is a regional or social form of a language with its own words and grammar. An accent is only the way people pronounce words; two people may speak the same dialect with different accents. Whether a form is called a dialect or a separate language is often a political matter. Jargon is the technical words of a profession; slang is informal words.
Dialect किसी भाषा का क्षेत्रीय या सामाजिक रूप है जिसके अपने शब्द और व्याकरण हों। Accent केवल शब्दों के उच्चारण का ढंग है; दो लोग एक ही dialect अलग accents में बोल सकते हैं। किसी रूप को dialect कहा जाए या अलग भाषा, यह प्रायः राजनीतिक मामला है। Jargon किसी पेशे के तकनीकी शब्द हैं; slang अनौपचारिक शब्द।
Keep apart dialect and dialectic (a method of argument).
Dialect और dialectic (तर्क की एक विधि) को अलग रखिए।
