This document discusses dialects and their development. It defines dialects as mutually intelligible forms of a language that differ systematically. Dialects are not inferior versions of a language, as a language consists of many dialects. Regional dialects develop differences in pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar based on geographic location. Accents reveal information about a speaker's background, while social dialects are influenced by factors like age, gender, and social situation. Standard languages aim to prevent differentiation, but many dialects like Cajun English have been banned despite being legitimate forms of communication.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
1. Introduction
This presentation consists in some of
the most relevant aspects related with
dialects. It contains all the elements that
contribute in the development process of
a dialect.
DIALECTS
2. Dialects are mutually intelligible
forms of a language that differ in
systematic ways.
DEFINITION
3. A dialect is not an inferior or
degraded form of a language, and
logically could not be so because a
language is a collection of dialects.
DIALECTS
4. All English speakers can talk to each
other and be understood. However
not two of them speak exactly alike.
Word choice, pronunciation of the
words, and grammatical rules are
affected by some factors like age,
sex, social situation, when and how
the language was learned.
DIALECTS
5. Each version of a language is
referred to as a regional dialect when
various linguistic differences are
accumulate in a particular
geographic region.
REGIONAL DIALECTS
6. Regional dialects may differ not only
in their pronunciation but also in their
lexical choices and grammatical
rules.
REGIONAL DIALECTS
7. Speech of non-native speakers,
who have learned a language as a
second language.
Regional phonological o phonetic
distinctions.
ACCENTS
8. Accent refers to the characteristic of
speech that convey information
about the speaker’s dialect, which
may reveal in what country or in what
part of the country the speaker grew
up, or to which sociolinguistic group
the speaker belong.
ACCENTS
9. Regional dialects may differ in the
words people use for the same
object, as well as in phonology.
LEXICAL DIFFERENCES
10. Dialect Areas: the concentrations
defined by different word usages and
varying pronunciation, among other
linguistic differences.
Isogloss: a line draw on a map to
separate the dialects areas.
DIALECT ATLASES
11.
12. Dialect differences that seem to
come about because of social factor.
There are regional aspects to social
dialects, clearly, social aspects to
regional dialects, so the distinction is
not entirely cut and dried.
SOCIAL DIALECTS
13. Many people talk and think about a
language as if it were a well-defined
system with various dialects
diverging from this norm. This is
false, although it is a falsehood that
is widespread.
THE “STANDARD”
14. Prescriptive grammarians, or
language purists, usually consider
the dialect used by political leaders
and national newscasters as the
correct form of the language.
LANGUAGE PURISTS
15. SAE refers to the standard or
prestige dialect of English, that many
Americans nearly speaks.
STANDARD AMERICAN
ENGLISH (SAE)
16. The aim of the languages purists is
to prevent languages differentiation
because of their false belief that
some languages are better that
others.
BANNED LANGUAGES
17. Many dialects like; Cajun English and
French in Louisiana, Korean in
Japan, Sing language in many
countries including USA, have been
banned based on the wishes of
languages purists.
BANNED LANGUAGES
18. The AAE is spoken by a large
population of Americans of African
descent. The distinghishing features
of this English dialect persist for
social, educational, and economic
reasons.
AFRICAN AMERICAN
ENGLISH
19. A major group of American English
dialects is spoken by native Spanish
speakers or their descendants. There
are also those born in Spanish-
speaking homes whose native
language is English, some of whom
are monolingual, and others who
speak Spanish as a second
language.
LATINO (HISPANIC)
ENGLISH
20. It is acquired as a first language by
many children, making it the native
language of hundreds of thousands,
if not millions of Americans. It is not
English with a Spanish accent but,
like AAE, a mutually intelligible
dialect that differs systematically from
SAE.
CHICANO ENGLISH
