An autonomous language or variety is usually a standard language that has its own established norms, as opposed to a heteronomous variety.An autonomous language will usually have grammar books, dictionaries and literature written in it. Autonomy is largely a sociopolitical construct rather than a result of specific linguistic differences.Examples of languages which have previously been considered to be autonomous, but are now sometimes considered heteronomous are: the Scots language, now generally thought of as a dialect of English, Occitan, sometimes thought of as a dialect of French, and Low Saxon, widely considered to be a dialect of German.
