Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A dialect is a speech pattern that distinguishes a group of people from another group based on their geographic or social background. It includes differences in grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. Regionalism refers to words or expressions used in a particular region but does not necessarily include differences in pronunciation or grammar. Pronunciation and articulation refer to the way in which individual sounds or words are spoken, but not necessarily in the context of a distinct speech pattern.
