2.       Regional dialect based on their regional for example in sumatera barat used minang language in java used java language ect. Example in british english : pavement , boot,bonnet, petrol, baggage. In american english : sidewalk, trunk, hood, gas, luggage.

Social dialect based on our language in every activities for example language between friends, teacher and students, parents and child ect. Example: african american vernacular english : uses a number of different phrases, word order changes andsound differences, some “rap” has these characterictics changes. We will talk more about BEV later it is a complex social dialect. Jewish speakers of english in new york : for example might say the word “dog”  with a vowel sound more similar to book, so “doog”. Italian speakers of english in new york : for example might say words like bad and bag with a vowel sound resembling “beard” so something like bead and beag.

3.       Language : a body of words and the systems  for their use common to people who are of the same community or nation, the same geographical area, or the same cultural tradition.

Dialect: type of language spoken consist of vocabulary, syntax, grammar, and pronounciation.

4.       Because there are social dialect and regional dialect social dialect is difference speech associate with various social groups . social dialects create among social groups and are related to a variety of factors such as social class, religion, and ethnicity. Certain differences from geographical area one to another in pronounciation , in the selecting and constructing of words, and in syntax ofa language such distinctive of local variety are called regional dialects .

5.       No one really knows what is language real mean. Sometimes language have ambigu meaning . example : i am fine , means someone still in good condition or good feeling . but in fact, i am fine is not always means okay , but also something wrong happened with someone’s feeling . by the case, we see that language and dialect is ambiguous .
