This is a list of varieties of the English language. Dialects are varieties differing in pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar from each other and from Standard English (which may itself be considered a dialect). British linguists distinguish dialect from accent, which refers only to pronunciation. Thus, any educated English person can use the vocabulary and grammar of Standard English, but different speakers are said to speak it using their own regional accent, or, in the case of Britain, with the class-based accent known as Received Pronunciation. American linguists, however, include pronunciation differences as part of the definition of regional or social dialects (better called varieties).
