Dialect
discourse; conversation; speech; language; argument; phraseology; manner of speaking or expression .
In the philosophical sense of the word, a language which resembles another in its general features, but differs from it in detail. The two most widely spread families of language in the world are the Indian-Gothic, Gothic, and the Semitic. In the former are included the Sanskrit, Zend, Armenian, Greek, Latin, Lithuanian, Slavonic, Teutonic, and Celtic dialects. In all these, the resemblance, though often far distant, is able to be traced. The Semitic embraces the Hebrew, Syriac, Arabic, and other dialects not so well known.
