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

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.

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.
