Dialects of Spanish vary from place to place, just as dialects of any language. It's wrong to think that one dialect is somehow superior to another.

How does the author's use of dialogue contribute to the readers understanding of social class in the play Pygmalion?
In the play Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw, he uses different dialects in the dialogue to show social status because one dialect is given overt prestige while the other is given covert prestige or is known as a non-standard language. The dialect known as the standard dialect is typically used by the upper-class while the non-standard dialect, the Cockney dialect spoken by Eliza Doolittle in the beginning, is associated with the lower class.Overt prestige is a linguistic term describing the prestige given to people who decide to speak the dialect that society deems the standard. In the play, Bernard Shaw has Professor Higgins speak the standard English in London while the student he takes on, Eliza, speaks in the Cockney dialect, which is considered the dialect of the lower class since the area that speaks that language is generally lower class. Because there is covert prestige present in the play as well, the prestige given to a person who speaks the same dialect as the non-standard group, you can tell what type of standards are used to categorize people into different social classes, one of the main standards being the dialect of English they speak.
