Dialect
A small point: if we use this, I can see future fault-finding with the word 'dialect' because it gets us into awkward definitions over what the difference between 'language' and 'dialect' is (e.g. Scots vs. English, whether 'American English' is a separate language, any variety of Chinese...). Plus there's the everyday definition of 'dialect' as 'non-standard dialect'. I would suggest we change this to 'language' and include a detail of which variety it is, e.g. language = British English. If it is not clear, language = English would also be possible. John Stephenson 04:20, 28 July 2007 (CDT)
