Most
speakers of the same language can talk to each other and pretty much understand
each other. Yet, no two speakers are exactly alike. Some
differences are the results of age, sex, social situation, and where and when
the language was learned. These differences are reflected in word
choices, the pronunciation of words, and grammatical rules. Also,
pronunciation, intonation and pitch may differ from one
language to another and from one dialect to another, even among accents of
these dialects. In
addition, word order, phonology, morphology, verb conjunction, grammar, and
every day vocabulary shift while translating most of the languages such as the
case in translating from Arabic to English. When
there are systematic differences in the way different groups speak a language,
we say that each group speaks a dialect of that language since a language is a
collection of dialects. Almost
every language in the world has two or more dialects within it. Some
languages have more than 200 dialects as the case in South African countries
and different accents. Usually these different accents emerge between
geographical separation and generation gap.
