    In that they are all very different and yet had similar roots?

    Yes. You might call Sanskrit the father language in this case though. My grandfather was a professor who taught it.

    What the hell.

    A dialect can be a completely different language not just the way they pronounce words differently.

    For instance there are 1650 different Dialects in India.  (There is no <b>one</b> Indian Language).

    You learn something new everyday, huh? <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    what day is it btw? When i was listening to the other guys, i must have slipped into a drunken dead-like state of relaxation - coursed by heavy toxication, the feeling best described as being forcefed with what you get when you cram a mixture of donkey, and the radioactive garbage that my left butt cheek grew last week.

            1. A regional or social variety of a language distinguished by pronunciation, grammar, or vocabulary, especially a variety of speech differing from the standard literary language or speech pattern of the culture in which it exists: Cockney is a dialect of English.
            2. A variety of language that with other varieties constitutes a single language of which no single variety is standard: the dialects of Ancient Greek.
      2. The language peculiar to the members of a group, especially in an occupation; jargon: the dialect of science.
      3. The manner or style of expressing oneself in language or the arts.
      4. A language considered as part of a larger family of languages or a linguistic branch. Not in scientific use: Spanish and French are Romance dialects.

    Gwahir 'summat' is a dialect, I'm guessing cockney. I personally don't say it, and it is heard occasionally round my area but not often, mainly with the young teen chavs.

    Before you even say it's no differenct to something like colour/color, color is included and taught in schools as the language. Summat isn't, and it is discouraged. <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->
    Now, see, you just ruined everything. You were supposed to refuse to look it up. N00B.

    Wow. This is probably the first thread I've seen with an actual point to the original post, that turned to brainless, mindless spam by the second in an attempt to be funny.

    You all fail at Humour 101.
