reading this manga which features a pretty heavy emphasis on dialect and it’s making me wonder what the difference is between ‘dialect’ and ‘accent’ actually

that’s interesting bc there definitely seems to be a fuzzy line there! at least with english it feels like we never describe something as a dialect, no matter how different it is

Dialects: Idioms, Slang, Pidgin, Abbreviations, and anything included in accents

Accents: the way your mouth sounds happen, potentially in contrast to other people who speak the same language as you
