This document defines key terms related to regional dialects and linguistic boundaries. It discusses how regional dialects are forms of language specific to an area. Isoglosses are lines on maps that show where linguistic features change from one variety to another, helping define dialect boundaries. Dialect continua exist across boundaries, and speakers may use multiple dialects. Understanding dialects and isoglosses provides insight into regional linguistic variation and identity.

boundaries

13. Isoglosses and dialects boundaries
 This line is called the isoglosses and
represent a boundary between the areas
with regard to that a particular linguistic
item.

15. Benefits of dialects
 The drawing of isoglosses and dialects
boundaries is quite useful in establishing a
broad view of regional dialects, one
dialect or language variety emerges from
one to another.

16.  We can view the regional variation as
existing along a dialect continuum rather
than having a sharp breaks from one
region to the next.

17.  Speakers who moves back and forth
across one boundary to another area, using
different varieties from an ease, may be
describe as the BIDIALECTS.
(i.e speaking two dialects)

18.  Most of us grow up with the some form
of bidilectalism ,speaking one dialect “in
the street among the family and friends,
and having to learn another dialect in
school”

19. Conclusion:
 Language is significant and the
identity of the region.
 Isoglosses helps in the understanding
the
of language in varieties of ways.
