Eli5: the difference between a language and dialect?
In: 12
Most countries have 1 official main language (yes some countries have few like Canada, Switzerland etc)
But then 1 country can have dialects and these are usually regionally spoken. Example 1 town in Italy may speak a different dialect (different words/accent/words) than a town near by.
A language is the official way of communication between the cities in that country while dialects are just naturally spoken by a certain level region in that 1 country.
