The article deals with the problems of dialect which is a variety of language that is characteristic of a particular group among the language speakers. The groups of people who are the speakers of a dialect are usually bound to each other by social identity. This is what differentiates a dialect from a register or a discourse, where in the latter case, cultural identity does not always play a role. Summing up the results, it can be concluded that dialects are speech varieties that have their own grammatical and phonological rules, linguistic features, and stylistic aspects, but have not been given an official status as a language.
