    What’s the difference between accent and dialect?

    An accent refers to the phonetic and phonological distinctions between language varieties.


    What is a dialect?

    A dialect is any variety of a language spoken by a group of people that is characterized by systematic differences from other varieties of the same language.

    Types of differences

    Phonetic
    Phonological
    Morphological
    Syntactic
    Lexical (Semantic)

    How can you tell if two varieties are dialects or separate languages?

    A possible criterion is mutual intelligibility.

    Mutual Intelligibility

    Language varieties are mutually intelligible when speakers of one variety can understand speakers of another variety, and vice versa.

    It ain’t that easy

    In China, speakers of Mandarin cannot understand speakers of Cantonese, and vice versa.
    However, they are considered by speakers to be dialects of the same language.

    In Vietnamese language, there is no systematic differences of language between regions, north, south and central of Vietnam. Please enlighten me if there is any.


    Trong tiếng Việtnam, có vùng nào nói ngôn ngữ nào đó mà có systematic differences vơi những vùng khác ko ?
