Jan 19, 2016 at 11:44 comment added Mauro Vanetti The English word "dialect" is used in two distinct, although partly overlapping, ways. A dialect can be a variety derived from a language or a variety not directly derived but related to a language and co-evolved with it. Italian dialects derive from Latin but share the same "ecosystem" of Italian, therefore they are dialects of Italian only in the second, broader meaning of the word. However, Latin had no articles. :-)
