It's been said a language is a dialect without an army and a navy.
In general if two different systems of speaking have 80% mutual intelligibility, they are dialects of the same language. If they have a lower rate of mutual intelligibility, they are different languages.
However, take Chinese--Mandarin and Cantonese aren't anything alike, but politically declared as the same language. French and Italian are very similar, but different languages.
Basically, it's arbitrary.
