A dialect is a form of speech peculiar to a particular region or group of people. The meanings of 'dialect' ranges from variations in pronunciation, to different grammatical structures and vocabulary.
Examples:
# Chinese has two major forms (Mandarin and Cantonese) that share a common literary standard and body of literature. Although mutually unintelligible, these two forms of language can be called Chinese dialects. # In Jamaica, many speak patois, which has its own vocabulary, grammar and form. # In the USA, note the difference between speakers from Boston, New York, Main-New Hampshire, Coastal South Eastern states etc. All have different dialects. # English as an international and national language has very many dialects.
