What's the Difference Between Dialect and Accent?

A dialect is a form of a language that is spoken in a particular geographic region or by a specific group of people. Dialects can differ from each other in terms of vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. Dialects can also be influenced by other languages and cultural influences.

An accent is the way that a language is spoken by a particular person or group of people. It refers specifically to the pronunciation and vocal characteristics of a language, rather than its grammar or vocabulary. Accents can vary within the same dialect and can be influenced by a person's native language or the region where they grew up.

For example, British English has many different dialects, such as Cockney, Scouse, and Geordie, which differ in terms of vocabulary and grammar. However, all of these dialects are spoken with a variety of accents, depending on the speaker's individual background and upbringing. Similarly, within the United States, there are many different regional dialects of English, such as Southern, Midwestern, and Northeastern, but all of these dialects can be spoken with a variety of accents.
