False. A dialect is not ungrammatical simply because it differs from standard English. Dialects have their own set of grammatical rules and structures that are appropriate within that particular linguistic community. Different dialects may have variations in vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar, but they are still linguistically valid forms of communication.
