IMPORTANCE OF DIALECTS

   The dialects are called the unknown branches of a language that were separated in ancient times. In other words, it is called dialect in a language that has changed in distant regions for various reasons, in terms of sound, syntax and vocabulary. In some dialects the sound and syntax differ so differentiation occurs that sometimes new languages ​​can emerge from dialects. For example, as a result of the formation of different dialects of Latin, French, Italian and Portuguese languages ​​have emerged. There are two criteria to distinguish between languages ​​and dialects. One is the social and political benchmark. According to this view, ’’ languages ​​‘’ are generally prestigious, formal and written. Dialects are usually spoken, informal and unimportant. The familiar expression of this view is as follows: ’’ Language is a dialect with its army and navy”. If it is impossible to understand, they are different languages. Of course, intelligibility must be continuous and asymmetric. For this reason, when talking to a person, the comprehensibility gives us the exact answers about whether the language or dialect is different. The main reason for this is that a Turkish speaking person cannot understand Azerbaijani or Uzbek Turkish.

  Another issue is the adoption of basic languages, not dialect. For example, they understand what is spoken when an Italian and a Spanish are together. But these two languages ​​are not accepted in dialect because these languages ​​have their own countries. They also have political forces. For example, there are many different languages ​​and dialects in India. But the government accepts only Hindi and English because the unity and integrity of the country does not accept the recognition of another language.

  As a result, after the emergence of nationalism and racism, the language has become a part of political identity, and the language has become a dialect with army and navy. Therefore, the political situation is the main reason why dialects are translated into languages ​​or that languages ​​are accepted as languages.
