Linguists would disagree.

Incorrect. No dialect "deviates" from a "standard" form of that language. 
Everyone speaks a dialect. The privilege given to any particular dialect has 
nothing to do with the form of the dialect itself and everything to do with the 
sociopolitical history of its speakers. None of that is relevant to speaking 
comprehensibly in an international environment.
